ATI TEAS Math Practice Test

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: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: 1/2. When flipping a fair coin, there are only two possible outcomes - heads or tails. Since each outcome is equally likely, the probability of getting heads is 1 out of 2, or 1/2. Choice B (1/3), C (1/4), and D (1/5) are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the equally likely outcomes of a coin flip. The probability of getting heads is always 1/2 when flipping a fair coin.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To determine the correct answer, we use the ratio of mg to mL in the concentrated drops. 80 mg is in 0.8 mL, so the concentration is 100 mg per 1 mL. Since the child needs 240 mg, we divide 240 by 100 to find the volume needed, which is 2.4 mL. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Choice A (0.8 mL) is incorrect because that is the original volume, not the calculated dosage. Choice B (1.6 mL) is incorrect as it is half the correct dosage, not the full dosage of 240 mg. Choice D (3.2 mL) is incorrect as it is double the correct dosage, exceeding the required 240 mg for the child.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To solve for y, first simplify the equation: 2y + 5 = 25 * 10. 25 * 10 = 250. Then, subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2y: 2y = 250 - 5 = 245. Finally, divide by 2 to find y: y = 245 / 2 = 122.5. Since y must be a whole number in this context, the closest whole number to 122.5 is 100 (Choice B). Summary of incorrect choices: A: y = 25 - Incorrect, doesn't consider the correct simplification and division steps. C: y = 150 - Incorrect, doesn't follow the correct solving process. D: y = 200 - Incorrect, doesn't reflect the accurate calculation based on the given equation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher. In this case, the number of nurses in various specialties is the variable that is being studied and is not dependent on any other variable. Therefore, the correct answer is C - Nurse specialties. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they are either specific specialties or the dependent variable (number of nurses).
