ATI TEAS Math Practice Test

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To solve for x, first isolate x by subtracting 6 from both sides: 2x + 6 - 6 = 14 - 6. This simplifies to 2x = 8. Then, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x: 2x/2 = 8/2, which gives x = 4. This is the correct answer as it accurately solves the equation. Choice B, x=8, is incorrect as it does not satisfy the equation. Choice C, x=10, and choice D, x=13, are also incorrect as they do not align with the correct solution derived from the steps provided.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: median. The median is the middle value when the data is arranged in numerical order. In this case, the outlier of 11 houses would significantly impact the mean, making it less accurate. The mode is not relevant for continuous data like the number of houses sold. The range only gives the difference between the maximum and minimum values, which does not provide a good measure of central tendency. Thus, the median is the best choice as it is not influenced by outliers and provides a more accurate representation of the typical number of houses sold per year.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To find the percentage of churchgoers attending Catholic Churches in Ellsford: 1. Calculate percentage attending Catholic Churches: (400/1450) * 100 ≈ 27.59% 2. Round to the nearest whole number: 28% Therefore, the correct answer is B (28%). Other choices are incorrect as they do not match the calculated percentage. A is lower, C and D are higher.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: To find the total amount contributed, add the amounts given by each roommate: $12.03 + $11.96 + $12.06 = $36.05. Since we are estimating, we can round the total to $36. Therefore, the correct answer is C: $36. Choice A: $34 is incorrect because the total amount is more than $34. Choice B: $35 is incorrect because the total amount is more than $35. Choice D: $37 is incorrect because the total amount is less than $37.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To simplify the expression, convert the mixed number 1 9/16 to an improper fraction: 1 * 16 + 9 / 16 = 25/16. Thus, the correct answer is A: 1 9/16. Option B (1 1/4) and Option C (2 1/8) do not represent the correct simplification of the given expression. Option D (2) is also incorrect as it does not accurately represent the simplified form of the expression.
