Sample questions from ATI TEAS Math — Original Latest Version Study Set

This material has 38 questions with answers and rationales. Here are the first 5.

1. 1.Add: 3/4 + 5/8, reduced to lowest terms =

   • A.1 3/8.
   • B.1 7/8.
   • C.1 5/8.
   • D.1 1/8.

   Rationale: Convert 3/4 to 6/8, then add to get 11/8, or 1 3/8. The other options represent different sums and do not result from adding the equivalent fractions. Convert fractions to a common denominator before adding.

2. 2.Which of the following is 0.375 written as a fraction in lowest terms?

   • A.5/8.
   • B.3/5.
   • C.3/8.
   • D.15/40.

   Rationale: The decimal 0.375 is 375/1000, which reduces to 3/8. The fractions 3/5 and 5/8 have different decimal values, and 15/40 is equivalent but not in lowest terms. Reduce a fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor.

3. 3.Change 42% to a decimal.

   • A.4.2.
   • B.0.42.
   • C.42.
   • D.0.042.

   Rationale: A percent is a value per 100, so 42% equals 42/100, or 0.42. The value 0.042 is ten times too small, while 4.2 and 42 are too large. Move the decimal point two places left to convert a percent to a decimal.

4. 4.Which of the following is 2.6 written as a fraction in lowest terms?

   • A.2 6/10.
   • B.26/100.
   • C.3 1/5.
   • D.2 3/5.
