ATI TEAS Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
A mathematics test has a 4:2 ratio of data analysis problems to algebra problems. If the test has 18 algebra problems, how many data analysis problems are on the test?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The ratio of 4:2 simplifies to 2:1. This means that for every 2 algebra problems, there is 1 data analysis problem. If there are 18 algebra problems, we can set up a proportion: 2 algebra problems correspond to 1 data analysis problem. Therefore, 18 algebra problems correspond to x data analysis problems. Solving the proportion, x = 18 * 1 / 2 = 9. Hence, there are 9 data analysis problems on the test. Therefore, the total number of data analysis problems on the test is 18 (algebra problems) + 9 (data analysis problems) = 27.
Question 2 of 5
Joshua has to earn more than 92 points on a state test to qualify for a scholarship. Each question is worth 4 points, and the test has 30 questions. Which inequality can be solved to determine the number of questions Joshua must answer correctly?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Joshua must answer more than 92 points' worth of questions. Since each question is worth 4 points, the inequality is 4x > 92. Choice A (4x < 30) is incorrect as it represents that Joshua must answer less than 30 questions correctly, not earning more than 92 points. Choice B (4x < 92) is incorrect as it signifies that Joshua must earn less than 92 points, which contradicts the requirement. Choice C (4x > 30) is incorrect as it implies that Joshua must answer more than 30 questions correctly, but the threshold is 92 points, not 30 points.
Question 3 of 5
Complete the following equation: 2 + (2)(2) - 2 · 2 = ?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the equation, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS): Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). 1. Calculate inside the parentheses first: (2)(2) = 4. 2. Then, perform multiplication and division: 2 + 4 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5. Therefore, the correct answer is 5. Choice B (3) is incorrect because multiplication is done before subtraction. Choices C (2) and D (1) are incorrect as they do not follow the correct order of operations to solve the equation.
Question 4 of 5
Solve for x: 2x + 6 = 14
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 5 of 5
Simplify the following expression: (3)(-4) + (3)(4) - 1
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To solve the expression, first calculate the multiplication: (3)(-4) = -12 and (3)(4) = 12. Then, substitute the results back into the expression: (-12) + 12 - 1 = -1. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculations of the given expression.
