ATI TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (6.97 hours). To calculate the total time taken, first find the time for the first segment: 305 miles / 65 mph = 4.69 hours. Then add the 15-minute stop in hours: 15 minutes / 60 = 0.25 hours. Next, find the time for the second segment: 162 miles / 80 mph = 2.025 hours. Add up these times: 4.69 hours + 0.25 hours + 2.025 hours = 6.965 hours, which rounds to 6.97 hours. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the distance covered and the stop. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the time for the second segment.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To solve the equation 2x + 4 = x - 6, we need to isolate x. Subtract x from both sides to get x + 4 = -6. Then, subtract 4 from both sides to get x = -10. The correct answer is D, x = -10. Choice A is incorrect because x is not -12. Choice B is incorrect as x is not 10. Choice C is incorrect as x is not -16.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C because a graph representing a proportional relationship has a constant slope that is equal to the rate of change between the variables. In this case, a slope of 2,000 means that for every unit increase in x, there is a corresponding increase of 2,000 in y, indicating a proportional relationship. The y-intercept being 0 is also consistent with a proportional relationship as it implies that when x is 0, y is also 0. A, B, and D are incorrect because their slopes and y-intercepts do not represent a proportional relationship. A slope of 2,500, 1,500, and -1,800 in choices A, B, and D respectively, do not indicate a constant rate of change between x and y, which is crucial for a proportional relationship. The y-intercepts in these choices also do not align with the characteristics of a proportional relationship.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, we use the conversion factor: 1 decimeter = 10 centimeters. Given the book's width is 2.5 decimeters, we multiply 2.5 by 10 to get the width in centimeters, which equals 25 centimeters. Therefore, choice B (25 centimeters) is the correct answer. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert decimeters to centimeters based on the conversion factor. Choice A (0.25 centimeters) is a common mistake of misplacing the decimal point. Choice C (250 centimeters) is an error of incorrectly multiplying instead of using the conversion factor. Choice D (0.025 centimeters) is another mistake of misplacing the decimal point during conversion.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D (6.97 hours). To calculate the total time taken, first find the time for the first segment: 305 miles / 65 mph = 4.69 hours. Then add the 15-minute stop in hours: 15 minutes / 60 = 0.25 hours. Next, find the time for the second segment: 162 miles / 80 mph = 2.025 hours. Add up these times: 4.69 hours + 0.25 hours + 2.025 hours = 6.965 hours, which rounds to 6.97 hours. Choice A is incorrect as it does not account for the distance covered and the stop. Choices B and C are incorrect as they do not consider the time for the second segment.
