Hey Brandon! I only had two weeks to study for my Teas that i took today. I am convinced your videos are the reason I done as good as i did . I cant wait to actually have time to review all your videos and become even better at math. Thank you for sharing your gift with us and your time. May God Bless you and your family for helping so many. I am 40 years old and I was not good in school at math. I have always had trouble with geometry and word problems. I hope to become more fluent with word problems and knowing how to solve them. You were on point with everything I had on the test. Thanks again.
First of all, congratulations on successfully tackling the math portion of the TEAS. I am thrilled to hear that the tutorials have helped you and I appreciate the kind words. Hearing things like this never gets old. Even better, I'm excited that you now have a drive to learn even more math. Feel free to chime in any time with questions or video request. Take care!
Never felt so confident for math in my life because of these. So glad you were gifted with the ability to teach and change! We're also from the same area and I've spoken with you a few times and have told you how much of a fan I was. Keep doing what you're doing!!
Just want to say that I have never in my life felt confident doing math. Your videos make me feel super, super confident. And not dumb! I take the TEAS at the end of November, and I'm certain I'll do much better than I would have had I not found your channel. Even if I don't, though (test anxiety is real!) the confidence is priceless. So thank you.
Hey there. Thanks for this! It never gets old hearing comments like this. If you haven't already, check out all my TEAS math stuff at www.bcraftmath.com/atiteas . Good luck! Thanks again for the kind words.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I'm just a math instructor so I cannot provide too much assistance with the other sections of the TEAS. If it's math related, you can count on me though!
I am taking the TEAS tomorrow. I have watched a few of your videos and I have three different TEAS programs I have been using, but I realized today I really didn't like the math sections in any of them, so I decided to youtube you again and see what else you had avail. Wowza. I pray tomorrow, I do well on the TEAS and don't have to take it again, but if I do I am definitely buying your program. Thank you so much for time and energy. I love your teaching style and really appreciate your help.
@@ddwilliams82 I took the TEAS 3 times because I wanted to make certain my score was high enough, and the first 2 times it was under 70%. I started nursing school last week. Brandon's videos were great, if you know his material you should do fine. My advice is if the problem is taking too long to solve, pick an answer, make a note on your scrap paper and check at the end- IF you have time. Good luck!
@@shannoncausey9242 Congratulations. Yeah, I'm not one to dwell on a problem too long. Once I've done the work or tried to, I either know it or I don't. Thank you for responding. Congratulations again.
I feel like the mathematics portion is the hardest for me to grasp. I need all the help I can get! I am worried I will not pass because of this section 😕 I did very well in my math courses in college, but this is a whole new ball game!
M.1.9 Practice Problem #2 in ATI TEAS Study Manual: Can you please explain how they get D in this question. I got C. The question was: Carl is thinking of retiring to either Flagstaff of Phoenix, Arizona. He reads in a newspaper that Phoenix has an average of 4,041 hours of sunlight per year out of a possible 4,380 hours (12 daylight hours per day times 365 days per year). Flagstaff has an average of 10 hours and 58 minutes per day. Carl loves sunshine and wants to retire where he will have the most sunshine every day. Which of the following expressions helps Carl decide where to retire? A. 4,041 hours is more than 10 hours, 58 minutes, so pick Phoenix. B. 4,380 hours/4,041 hours equals 1.08. C. 4,041 hours/4,380 hours D. 4,041 hours/365 days= 11.07 hours/day. 11.07 hours equals about 11 hours and 4 minutes per day. Thus Phoenix gets more sunshine than Flagstaff so Carl should choose Phoenix. I choose C and the correct answer was D. Can you please explain why because the ATI Study Manual doesn't explain the answer well? Thank you
4041 total hours of sunlight per year.... divide this by 365 to figure out how many hours of sunlight there are per day in Phoenix. This will equal 11.07123288 hours, which corresponds to 11 hours and 4 minutes per day. Where does the 4 minutes come from? If you subtract 11 from that quotient we just got, you will be left with the decimal portion (0.07123288) and if you multiply that by 60, you will get approximately 4 minutes. Regardless, since Phoenix averages over 11 hours of sunlight per day, that is more than the 10 hours and 58 minutes in Flagstaff. Answer choice D is the correct choice. Hope that helps.
Samidha since we are trying to find how many gb of data that Alexa used, we need to remember that her plan allows her to use 10gb without having any additional charges. Taking that into consideration and knowing that she was billed for 4 ADDITIONAL gb, that means she used 10+4 = 14gb of data that month. Had it only asked for how many gb she went over her limit, then 4 would have been our solution. Hope that helps.
Hey there. I did remove those notes from my website as they were outdated. However, with the newer content (80+ videos), I hope that will make up for those removed docs. I'm glad the tutorials are helping!
Hello. I love your videos and they are a big help. I wanted to know if you know where I can find some practice sheets or practice questions. That are like your videos.
Just a heads up, when I clicked on the M.1.9 link on your website it kept taking me to M.1.8 ... I'm no sure if there is a mixup on your website or not but I thought I'd let you know.
Hello can you help me solve this problem please? The answer I got is not even close to what's in the book I am using but I follow the steps. The question says Annie uses 1 3/4 cups of flour to bake 2 cakes. If she bakes 11 cakes , how many cups of flour she would need. I got 6.2 but the book says it's 9 5/8 cups. I am not sure how they got a fraction when the book says to convert the fraction to decimals first. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
You can use a proportion to solve this. First, 1 and 3/4 cups = 1.75 cups. Now.... 1.75 / 2 = x / 11 Basically I put cups/cakes = cups/cakes. Cross multiply and divide to solve for x. This will yield 9.625 cups.
Can we solve this problem differently, for example using proportion. 10Gb should pay 92$ so how many GB if he paid 124$ ? the answer would be 13. 478 GB . i am just wondering .
You could use a proportion.... 8/1 = 32/x This stands for $8 per 1 GB equals $32 over x GB. However, we still need to add the 10GB that were used for the initial charge as well. Hope that helps.
21/3x and 21/(3x) are different. The parenthesis will keep the x in the denominator. Otherwise, the x is getting multiplied by 21/3... Which is 7 really.
You can take a pic, save it to your Google drive or Dropbox, and add the link here..... Or if you tell me which manual, page and problem, I may have it. I have a few teas manuals.
hi brandon craft. i have a question on the second attempt that I took on the teas on math on the ratio problem i came cross a problems like there are 28 students in a class with 14 girls and 13 boys what is the ratios of girls to boys in a class and i could not figure it out
27 students perhaps? 14:13 or 14/13 would be the answer if you needed to find the ratio of girls to boys. If the question said "What is the ratio of girls to the total number of students?", then it would be 14:27 or 14/27. How's that?
@@bcraftmath ok because i knew how do ratios and watching your videos on ratios and 28 students caught me off I remember the question of what is the ratios of girls to boys i guess i made a little minor mistake.

You can use a proportion to solve this. First, 1 and 3/4 cups = 1.75 cups.
Now....
1.75 / 2 = x / 11
Basically I put cups/cakes = cups/cakes.
Cross multiply and divide to solve for x.
This will yield 9.625 cups.
Do you have to divide the ratios? 29/21
You can...
Do you only teach math from the teas?
Yes. Just math.

@@minoom3158 hey there... how did you come up with 13.478GB? The correct answer is 14GB for that question.
uh, you know what. it can't be solved by proportion. right? because we need to add $8 for per extra GB. i made a mistake. thank you@@bcraftmath .
You could use a proportion.... 8/1 = 32/x This stands for $8 per 1 GB equals $32 over x GB. However, we still need to add the 10GB that were used for the initial charge as well. Hope that helps.
of course it helps. thank you so much for your explanation.
3x^2 - 21/3x solve if x=3
Plug 3 into x...
3(3)^2 - 21/3(3)
=3(9) - 21
=27 - 21
=6
Brandon Craft what about the 9 in the denominator ? Shouldn’t it be 222/9 idk 🥴
21/3x and 21/(3x) are different. The parenthesis will keep the x in the denominator. Otherwise, the x is getting multiplied by 21/3... Which is 7 really.
