Arithmetic Reasoning
In working as an ASVAB tutor, I place a strong emphasis on the importance of working with fractions. I remind my students of the importance of being able to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions and mixed numbers. Fractions and mixed numbers are two of the topics I review in my instruction of Arithmetic Reasoning. My book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Arithmetic Reasoning Study Guide presents a review of both fractions and mixed numbers. Many of my ASVAB students need to improve their skills in fractions and mixed numbers.
Today I present an Arithmetic Reasoning question.
This question is addition of fractions.
The question is:
Solve
5/8 + 1/4 =
A. 6/12
B. 7/8
C. 1/2
D. 5/32
Do you know how to add fractions? There are a few steps involved in solving this problem.
Do you know what to do before you can add these fractions? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
