ASVAB Math Exam Questions and Verified Answers Graded A+ 2026/27
What are whole numbers? - all positive integers including zero.
Examples - 0,1,2,3
What are integers? - all positive and negative numbers including zero.
Examples - 0, 1,2,3,
-1,-2,-3
What is a rational number? - any number that can be written as a fraction with integer
numerator and denominator.
Example - 2/5, 0, 1, 4/3
What are irrational numbers? - any number that is not a rational number and that cannot
be written as a fraction or as a non repeating decimal.
Examples - Pi, 3.145,
What are real numbers? - set of all rational and irrational numbers.
Examples- -√7, -1/3, 0, 1, 3/4
What are Arithmetic operations? - include finding the sum (adding), finding the difference
(subtracting), finding the product (multiplying), and finding the quotient (dividing).
, What are fractions? - are composed of a numerator (top number) and a denominator
(bottom number)
What are proper fractions? - numerator smaller than the denominator. Examples- 1/2 and
7/8
What are improper fractions? - numerator equal to or greater than the denominator.
Examples- 6/3 and 2/2
What are mixed fractions? - combination of whole and fractional numbers. Examples- 1
1/4 and 3 3/5
What is equivalent Factions? - when two fractions identify the same quantity and simplify
equally. Examples - 1/2 and 2/4
How to simplify a fraction? - by determining what number will divide evenly into both the
numerator and the denominator. Example, with the fraction 4/8 four divides evenly into both 4
and 8 giving 4/8 ÷ 4/4 = 1/2.
How do you convert an improper fraction to a mixed fraction? - divide the numerator by
the denominator to get a quotient of one and then write the remainder over the original
denominator. Example, 15/7 = 2 remainder 1 which is 2 1/7.
