A bank of 201 exam style questions for military applicants preparing for the ASVAB. Every answer comes with a four part rationale: why the correct answer is right, why the others are wrong, the principle behind it, and the takeaway to remember.
Sample question 1. ARITHMETIC: If a car travels 60 miles in 2 hours, its speed is:
A. 30 mph
B. 20 mph
C. 60 mph
D. 40 mph
Answer: A. Correct: 30 mph, because 60 miles divided by 2 hours is 30 miles per hour. Why the other choices are wrong: the others do not equal 60 over 2. Principle: speed is distance divided by time. Takeaway: divide distance by time to find speed.
Sample question 2. ARITHMETIC: What is 15% of 60?
A. 9
B. 12
C. 6
D. 15
Answer: A. Correct: 9, because 15% of 60 is 0.15 times 60, which equals 9. Why the other choices are wrong: 6, 12, and 15 use the wrong rate. Principle: a percent of a number is the decimal percent times the number. Takeaway: convert the percent to a decimal and multiply.
Sample question 3. ARITHMETIC: A recipe needs 3 cups for 4 servings. For 8 servings you need:
A. 8 cups
B. 7 cups
C. 5 cups
D. 6 cups
Answer: D. Correct: 6 cups, because doubling servings from 4 to 8 doubles 3 cups to 6. Why the other choices are wrong: 5, 7, and 8 do not scale correctly. Principle: scale ingredients in proportion to servings. Takeaway: scale ingredient amounts in proportion to the number of servings.
