Arithmetic Reasoning
If Joe ran 5 miles, how many feet did he run?
Today’s question is a measurement question. As an ASVAB tutor, I know the importance of studying measurement conversions to prepare for the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the ASVAB. I wrote and published a book entitled, The ASVAB Tutor’s Arithmetic Reasoning Study Guide. This book consists of 15 subtopics in Arithmetic Reasoning. Measurement is one of these subtopics. I included conversions of all the basic units of measurement in the book for my students to review. I remind my students to study distance measurements and their conversions including inches, feet, yards, and miles. I emphasize the importance of studying liquid measurement including ounces, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. I tell my students to study weight measurements of ounces, pounds, and tons. I also remind them to review metric measurements as well. To solve today’s problem, it is necessary to know how many feet are in a mile. Do you know how many feet are in a mile? If so, how many feet are in 5 miles. I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
