    #1

    Statistics and Data Interpretation

    A nursing supervisor is reviewing the hourly shift differentials for a group of eight registered nurses. The data set is as follows: \n\n$12.50, $15.75, $11.00, $21.50, $9.00, $14.25, $18.00, $20.25\n\nWhat is the range of the hourly shift differentials for this group of nurses?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: C. $12.50/hour

    Learn how to calculate the statistical range by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value in a data set.

    Fractions and Decimals

    Which of the following is the result of three-eighths plus one-eighth minus one-fourth?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: A. 0.375

    To solve, add the first two fractions and subtract the third using a common denominator, then convert the remaining fraction to a decimal.

    #3

    Comparing Rational Numbers

    Which of the following sets of numbers is ordered correctly from least to greatest?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: D. 0.4, 3/7, 4/9, 0.44

    Compare these values by converting fractions to decimals: 0.4, 3/7 (0.428), 0.44, and 4/9 (0.444). Choice D is the correct ascending order.

    Statistics and Data Interpretation

    A nurse tracks the number of patients admitted to the emergency room each day over a one-week period. The data recorded are: 24, 33, 18, 51, 30, 29, 21. What is the median of this data set?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. 29

    To find the median, arrange the numbers in order (18, 21, 24, 29, 30, 33, 51) and identify the middle value, which is 29.

    Ratio and Fraction Conversion

    A hospital nurse-to-patient ratio is stated as 24:36. Which of the following represents this ratio in its simplest fractional form?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: C. 2/3

    To convert the ratio 24:36 to a fraction, write it as 24/36 and simplify by dividing by the greatest common factor (12) to get 2/3.

    Ordering Rational Numbers

    Which of the following lists the values below in order from least to greatest? 0, -1/2, -8, 0.75, -0.4

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: A. -8, -1/2, -0.4, 0, 0.75

    To order rational numbers, convert fractions to decimals and arrange them from the most negative value to the most positive value.

    Proportions and Ratios

    A catering recipe for chicken stir-fry requires 12 ounces of sliced bell peppers for every 10 servings. If a chef has a bulk bag containing 100 ounces of bell peppers, how many servings can be prepared? (Round the final answer to the nearest whole number.)

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. 83 servings

    Learn to solve proportions for the TEAS 7 math section by calculating servings based on a fixed ounce-to-serving ratio.

    Comparing Rational Numbers

    Which of the following values is the greatest?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. ⁸⁄₃

    To find the greatest value, convert all fractions to decimals: 2.65, 2.667, 2.607, and 2.6. Comparing hundredths shows 2.667 (8/3) is the largest.

    Scientific Variables

    A researcher is conducting a study to determine how the amount of daily protein intake affects the muscle mass growth in athletes over a six-month period. In this study, the measured muscle mass is considered which type of variable?

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: B. Dependent variable

    Muscle mass is the dependent variable because it is the outcome being measured, which 'depends' on the amount of protein consumed (the independent variable).

    Algebraic Expressions

    Simplify the following algebraic expression: \n\n-6(x² + 6x - 4)

    Show answer and rationale

    Answer: A. -6x² - 36x + 24

    Simplify -6(x² + 6x - 4) by distributing -6 to each term, resulting in -6x² - 36x + 24. Pay close attention to negative sign multiplication rules.
