ATI TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To calculate the percentage more female staff at Hospital Y than X, we first find the difference in the percentage of female staff between the two hospitals. Let's say Hospital X has 40% female staff and Hospital Y has 50%. The difference is 50% - 40% = 10%. This means that Hospital Y has 10% more female staff than Hospital X. Therefore, the correct answer is B (10%). Option A (5%) is incorrect because the actual percentage more is 10%. Option C (15%) and D (20%) are incorrect as they overestimate the difference in female staff percentages between the two hospitals.

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: To find the number of students who will complete the nursing program, we first calculate the number of students majoring in nursing: 100 students * 3/4 = 75 nursing majors. Then, we determine how many of these nursing majors will complete the program: 75 nursing majors * 1/5 = 15 students. Therefore, the correct answer is C (15). Choice A (75) is incorrect because it represents the total number of nursing majors, not the number completing the program. Choice B (20) is incorrect as it does not consider the completion rate. Choice D (5) is incorrect as it is too low and does not account for the proportion of nursing majors who actually complete the program.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression 3(1/6) - 1(5/6), we first multiply the whole number by the fraction: 3 * 1/6 = 3/6. Then, we subtract 1 * 5/6 = 5/6. Simplifying 3/6 - 5/6 gives us -2/6, which reduces to -1/3 or 1 (1/3). Therefore, the correct answer is B: 1 (1/3). Choice A: 2 (1/3) is incorrect as the result is negative. Choice C: 2 (1/9) is incorrect as it is not the simplified form. Choice D: 5/6 is incorrect as it is one of the terms in the expression, not the final result.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: y = 15 + 28x. This equation represents the total amount of money Andy will have saved. Initially, he has $15 saved (y = 15 when x = 0). Then, he saves $28 per month, which is represented by 28x. Therefore, the total amount saved is the initial $15 plus the monthly savings of $28 times the number of months x. Summary: - Choice A is correct because it includes the initial savings of $15 and the monthly savings of $28x. - Choice B is incorrect because it incorrectly adds $15 to the monthly savings. - Choice C is incorrect because it only represents the monthly savings without considering the initial amount saved. - Choice D is incorrect because it adds the monthly savings before the initial amount saved.
