Arithmetic Reasoning
An important skill to master when reviewing for the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB is fractions. I remind my students of the importance of being able to perform the four basic operations with fractions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Working with fractions is a skill that many of my ASVAB students need to improve upon. I included a review of fractions in my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Arithmetic Reasoning Study Guide.
Today I present an Arithmetic Reasoning question.
The skill is multiplication of fractions.
The question is:
Solve
5/6 x 2/4 =
A. 5/12
B. 1/2
C. 7/24
D. 5/6
Do you know how to multiply fractions? I remind my students that multiplying fractions is easier than adding or subtracting fractions.
Do you know the answer? I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
