ATI TEAS Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 9
Simplify the following expression: 3 (1/6) - 1 (5/6)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 9
Simplify the following expression:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To simplify the given expression, start by performing the division first: (2/3) · (4/15) = (2/3) (15/4) = 30/12 = 5/2. Next, multiply this result by 5/8: 5/2 5/8 = 25/16 = 1 9/16. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B (1 1/4) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified result. Choice C (2 1/8) is incorrect as it does not represent the simplified expression. Choice D (2) is incorrect as it does not account for the fractions in the original expression.
Question 3 of 9
The cost of renting a bicycle is $3.60 per hour. Which equation shows the best relationship between the total cost (C) and the number of hours (h) rented?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The best relationship is C = 3.60h because the cost increases by $3.60 for each hour of rental. This equation represents a linear relationship where the total cost (C) is directly proportional to the number of hours rented (h). Choice B (C = h + 3.60) is incorrect because it wrongly assumes a fixed additional cost of $3.60 regardless of the number of hours rented. Choice C (C = 3.60h + 10.80) is incorrect as it overestimates the initial cost. Choice D (C = 10.80h) is incorrect as it implies a constant rate of $10.80 per hour, which is not the case.
Question 4 of 9
Simplify the following expression: (1/4) (3/5) · 1 (1/8)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: First, convert the mixed number 1 (1/8) into an improper fraction: 1 (1/8) = 9/8. Now, simplify the expression: (1/4) (3/5) · (9/8). To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal: (1/4) (3/5) (8/9) = 24/180 = 2/15. Thus, the simplified expression is 2/15. Choice A (8/15) is incorrect because the correct answer is 2/15. Choice B (27/160) is incorrect as it is not the result of the given expression. Choice D (27/40) is incorrect as it does not match the simplified expression obtained.
Question 5 of 9
Curtis is taking a road trip through Germany, where all distance signs are in metric. He passes a sign that states the city of Dusseldorf is 45 kilometers away. Approximately how far is this in miles?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To convert kilometers to miles, you can use the conversion factor of approximately 0.62 miles per kilometer. Therefore, 45 kilometers 0.62 miles/kilometer = 27.9 miles, which is approximately 28 miles away. Choice A (42 miles), Choice B (37 miles), and Choice D (16 miles) are incorrect as they do not reflect the accurate conversion from kilometers to miles.
Question 6 of 9
Solve for y: 2y + 5 = 25 * 10
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve the equation 2y + 5 = 25 * 10, start by simplifying the right side: 25 * 10 = 250. Then, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2y: 2y = 250 - 5 = 245. Finally, divide by 2 to find the value of y: y = 245 / 2 = 122.5. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 122.5. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not result from the correct calculation steps.
Question 7 of 9
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.
Question 8 of 9
University Q has an extremely competitive nursing program. Historically, 3/4 of the students in each incoming class major in nursing, but only 1/5 of those who major in nursing complete the program. If this year's incoming class has 100 students, how many will complete the nursing program?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Out of the 100 students, 3/4 major in nursing, which equals 75 students. However, only 1/5 of these 75 students will complete the program. Calculating 1/5 of 75 gives us 15 students who will complete the nursing program. Therefore, the correct answer is 15. Choice A (75) is incorrect as it represents the total number of students majoring in nursing, not completing the program. Choices B (20) and D (5) are incorrect calculations and do not align with the information provided in the question.
Question 9 of 9
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.
