ATI TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: To arrange the numbers from least to greatest, we convert them to decimals or find a common denominator. Converting to decimals, we get: 7/3 = 2.33, 9/2 = 4.5, 10/9 = 1.11, 7/8 = 0.875. Therefore, the correct order is 7/8 < 10/9 < 7/3 < 9/2. Choice D is correct as it follows this order. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not reflect the correct ascending sequence.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To simplify the expression 13 - 3/22 - 11, we first calculate 3/22 which is 0.136. Then, we subtract 0.136 from 13, resulting in 12.864. Lastly, we subtract 11 from 12.864, giving us 1.864. Therefore, the correct answer is B: 7/22. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not match the simplified expression value of 1.864.

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: C

Rationale: To calculate the distance traveled by the train, we use the formula Distance = Speed x Time. Given the speed of 60 mph and time of 2 hours, Distance = 60 mph x 2 hours = 120 miles. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 120 miles. Choice A is incorrect because it only represents the speed of the train, not the total distance. Choice B and D are incorrect as they do not consider both speed and time to calculate the distance correctly.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To earn more than 96 points, Mathew needs to answer at least 97 points out of 120 (40 questions * 3 points each). This means he can only get a maximum of 23 questions wrong (120 - 97 = 23). So, Mathew can answer up to 7 questions incorrectly (23/3 = 7.67, rounded down to 7) and still qualify for varsity sports. Therefore, the correct answer is C: 0 ≤ x < 8, as Mathew can answer 0 to 7 questions incorrectly and still meet the eligibility requirement. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the maximum number of questions Mathew can answer incorrectly based on the total points needed for eligibility.
