ASVAB Math UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
What are whole numbers? - CORRECT ANSWER - all positive integers including zero.
Examples - 0,1,2,3
What are integers? - CORRECT ANSWER - all positive and negative numbers including
zero.
Examples - 0, 1,2,3,
-1,-2,-3
What is a rational number? - CORRECT ANSWER - 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? - CORRECT ANSWER - 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? - CORRECT ANSWER - set of all rational and irrational numbers.
Examples- -√7, -1/3, 0, 1, 3/4
What are Arithmetic operations? - CORRECT ANSWER - include finding the sum
(adding), finding the difference (subtracting), finding the product (multiplying), and finding the
quotient (dividing).
What are fractions? - CORRECT ANSWER - are composed of a numerator (top number)
and a denominator (bottom number)
, What are proper fractions? - CORRECT ANSWER - numerator smaller than the
denominator. Examples- 1/2 and 7/8
What are improper fractions? - CORRECT ANSWER - numerator equal to or greater than
the denominator. Examples- 6/3 and 2/2
What are mixed fractions? - CORRECT ANSWER - combination of whole and fractional
numbers. Examples- 1 1/4 and 3 3/5
What is equivalent Factions? - CORRECT ANSWER - when two fractions identify the
same quantity and simplify equally. Examples - 1/2 and 2/4
How to simplify a fraction? - CORRECT ANSWER - 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? - CORRECT ANSWER -
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.
When adding and subtracting fractions the denominator must be the same for both numbers. If
you have different denominators what do you do? - CORRECT ANSWER - you need to
find the least common denominator by finding a number that both denominators will divide into
evenly.
How do you multiplying and dividing fractions? - CORRECT ANSWER - simply multiply
the two numerators together to get the numerator of the answer and multiply the two
denominators to get the denominator of the answer.
Formula for simple interest is what? - CORRECT ANSWER - Interest = principal x
(interest x rate)
