Arithmetic Reasoning

As an ASVAB tutor, I focus very heavily on reviewing Arithmetic Reasoning.   Many of the students I need require the most help in the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB.

Today I present an Arithmetic Reasoning question that covers the skill of time.

The question asks:

Jessica worked a total of 42 hours in 5 days.  What was the average amount of hours that she worked each day?

  1. 8 hours 2 minutes
  2. 8 hours 15 minutes
  3. 8 hours 24 minutes
  4. 8 hours 30 minutes

Today’s question involves a few steps.  Do you know how to solve this problem?

I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
