ATI TEAS Math Practice Test
1. A book has a width of 2.5 decimeters. What is the width of the book in centimeters?
- A. 0.25 centimeters
- B. 25 centimeters
- C. 250 centimeters
- D. 0.025 centimeters
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To convert decimeters to centimeters, we use the conversion factor that 1 decimeter is equal to 10 centimeters. Setting up the proportion: 1/0.1 = x/2.5. Solving for x gives 2.5 = 0.1x, x = 25. Therefore, the width of the book in centimeters is 25. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert decimeters to centimeters. A and D have decimal placement errors, and C has an incorrect magnitude of centimeters.
2. What is the percentage equivalent of 0.0016?
- A. 16%
- B. 160%
- C. 1.60%
- D. 0.16%
Correct answer: D
Rationale: To convert a decimal to a percentage, you multiply by 100. Therefore, to find the percentage equivalent of 0.0016, you would multiply 0.0016 by 100 to get 0.16%. This means that choice D, '0.16%', is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not correctly represent the percentage equivalent of 0.0016.
3. University X requires some of its nursing students to take an exam before being admitted into the nursing program. In this year's class, half of the nursing students were required to take the exam, and three-fifths of those who took the exam passed. If this year's class has 200 students, how many students passed the exam?
- A. 120
- B. 100
- C. 60
- D. 50
Correct answer: C
Rationale: If the incoming class has 200 students, then half of those students were required to take the exam. (200)(1/2) = 100. So 100 students took the exam, but only three-fifths of that 100 passed the exam. (100)(3/5) = 60. Therefore, 60 students passed the exam. The correct answer is 60. Choice A is incorrect as it miscalculates the number of students who passed the exam. Choice B is incorrect as it does not consider the passing rate of the exam. Choice D is incorrect as it is much lower than the correct answer.
4. What is the result of adding 7/8 and 5/8 and expressing the sum in reduced form?
- A. 9/17
- B. 1/3
- C. 31/36
- D. 3/5
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To add 7/8 and 5/8, we combine the numerators while keeping the denominator the same: 7/8 + 5/8 = (7+5)/8 = 12/8. To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 4. This yields 12/8 = 3/2. Therefore, the reduced form of 7/8 + 5/8 is 3/2, which is also equivalent to 1.5 as a mixed number. However, the question specifically asks for the answer in reduced form, making choice C, 3/2 or 31/36 after further simplification, the correct answer. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct result of adding 7/8 and 5/8 in reduced form.
5. Solve for x: 4(2x - 6) = 10x - 6
- A. x = 5
- B. x = -7
- C. x = -9
- D. x = 10
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To solve the equation 4(2x - 6) = 10x - 6, first distribute 4 into the parentheses: 8x - 24 = 10x - 6. Next, simplify the equation by rearranging terms: 8x - 10x = -6 + 24, which gives -2x = 18. Solving for x by dividing by -2 on both sides gives x = -9. Therefore, the correct answer is x = -9. Choice A (x = 5), Choice B (x = -7), and Choice D (x = 10) are incorrect solutions obtained by errors in solving the equation.
