ASVAB MATH EXAM QUESTIONS
AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
What are entire numbers? - ANSWER: All positive integers, including zero.
Examples - 0, 1, 2, 3.
What are integers? - ANSWER all positive and negative figures, including
ZERO.
Examples: 0, 1, 2, 3, -1, -2, and -3.
What is a rational number? - ANSWER Any number that can be expressed as a
fraction with an integer numerator and denominator.
Example: 2/5, 0, 1, and 4/3.
What are irrational numbers? - ANSWER any number that is not rational and
cannot be expressed as a fraction or a non-repeating decimal.
Examples: Pi, 3.145
What are actual numbers? - The ANSWER set contains all rational and
irrational numbers.
Examples: -√7, -1/3, 0, 1 3/4.
What are the arithmetic operations? - ANSWER include addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and dividing.
What are fractions? - ANSWER consist of a numerator (top number) and a
denominator (bottom number).
What are the proper fractions? - ANSWER: The numerator is smaller than the
denominator. Examples: 1/2 and 7/8.
What are incorrect fractions? - ANSWER: The numerator equals or exceeds the
denominator. Examples: 6/3 and 2/2.
, What is a mixed fraction? - ANSWER: A blend of whole and fractional
numbers. Examples: 1 1/4, 3 3/5.
What exactly is the concept of analogous factions? - ANSWER when two
fractions represent the same quantity and simplify equally. Examples: 1/2 and
2/4.
How can I simplify a fraction? - ANSWER by calculating which integer divides
evenly into the numerator and denominator. For example, the fraction 4/8
divides equally into 4 and 8, resulting in 4/8 ÷ 4/4 = 1/2.
How do you turn an incorrect fraction into a mixed fraction? - ANSWER:
Divide the numerator by the denominator to obtain a quotient of one, then write
the remainder over the original denominator. For example, 15/7 = 2 remainder
1, which is 2 1/7.
When adding and subtracting fractions, the denominator must match for both
numbers. What do you do when you have different denominators? - ANSWER:
Find the least common denominator by dividing both denominators evenly.
How does one multiply and divide fractions? - ANSWER: Simply multiply the
two numerators to obtain the numerator of the answer, and multiply the two
denominators to get the denominator of the solution.
What is the formula for simple interest? - ANSWER Interest = Principal x
(Interest x Rate)
What is the formula for compound interest? - ANSWER: Calculate simple
interest for each year, using the new principal plus accumulated interest for the
new interest computation.
What are composite numbers? - ANSWER can be represented as the product of
two or more whole number factors, except the number itself and one.
Example-
What are the prime numbers? - ANSWER can be written as the product of
simply two factors: the number itself and 1.
Example-
