ATI TEAS Math Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
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 2 of 5
In the town of Ellsford, there are approximately 1,450 residents who attend church weekly. If around 400 of them attend Catholic Churches, what percentage of churchgoers in Ellsford attends Catholic Churches?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: In this question, we are asked to find the percentage of churchgoers in Ellsford who attend Catholic Churches. To solve this, we need to divide the number of churchgoers attending Catholic Churches (400) by the total number of churchgoers in Ellsford (1,450) and then multiply by 100 to get the percentage. The correct answer is B) 28%. This is because 400 divided by 1,450 equals 0.2758. When multiplied by 100, this gives us 27.58%, which rounds up to 28%. Therefore, approximately 28% of churchgoers in Ellsford attend Catholic Churches. Option A) 23% is incorrect because it represents a lower percentage than the actual calculation result. Option C) 36% and Option D) 42% are incorrect as they both overestimate the percentage of churchgoers attending Catholic Churches based on the given information. In an educational context, this question assesses the test-taker's ability to calculate percentages and apply them to real-world scenarios. Understanding how to interpret and calculate percentages is crucial in various fields, including mathematics, finance, and data analysis. It also tests the test-taker's ability to apply basic arithmetic operations in a practical context, which is a fundamental skill in many academic and professional settings.
Question 3 of 5
Solve for x: 2x + 4 = x - 6
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To solve the equation 2x + 4 = x - 6, first, subtract x from both sides to get x + 4 = -6. Then, subtract 4 from both sides to isolate x, resulting in x = -10. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -10. Choice A is incorrect as it does not follow the correct steps of solving the equation. Choice B is incorrect as it is the result of combining x terms incorrectly. Choice C is incorrect as it is not the correct result of solving the equation step by step.
Question 4 of 5
If Stella's current weight is 56 kilograms, which of the following is her approximate weight in pounds? (Note: 1 kilogram is approximately equal to 2.2 pounds.)
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert Stella's weight from kilograms to pounds, you multiply her weight in kilograms (56) by the conversion factor (2.2): 56 2.2 = 123.2 pounds. Since we need to find the approximate weight in pounds, the closest option is 123 pounds, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the accurate conversion of Stella's weight from kilograms to pounds.
Question 5 of 5
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.
