Math Pillar
The TEAS 7 math section contains 38 questions in 57 minutes — about 90 seconds per question. To clear Proficient (60%+) you need fluency in fractions, percentages, ratios, basic algebra, and data interpretation. This page gives you targeted practice questions for each.
ATI's official blueprint splits the math section into two sub-categories:
A nurse gives 3/4 of a 200 mL bag of IV fluid. How many mL did the patient receive?
Correct answer: C. 150 mL
Why: (3/4) × 200 = 600/4 = 150 mL. Multiply the numerator by the whole, then divide by the denominator.
A medication's price increased from $40 to $50. What is the percent increase?
Correct answer: C. 25%
Why: Percent change = (new − old) / old × 100 = (50 − 40) / 40 × 100 = 25%.
Each question below opens a dedicated page with the full rationale, distractor analysis, study tip, and related practice — exactly what Google indexes for long-tail TEAS searches:
If the nurse-to-patient ratio is 1:6 and there are 42 patients on the unit, how many nurses are needed?
Correct answer: C. 7
Why: Set up the proportion 1/6 = x/42. Cross-multiply: 6x = 42 → x = 7. Always confirm units cancel.
Solve for x: 3x + 7 = 22
Correct answer: B. 5
Why: Subtract 7 from both sides → 3x = 15. Divide both sides by 3 → x = 5.
A patient weighs 154 pounds. How many kilograms is this? (1 kg = 2.2 lb)
Correct answer: C. 70 kg
Why: 154 ÷ 2.2 = 70 kg. To convert pounds to kg, divide by the conversion factor 2.2.
