As an ASVAB tutor, I know the importance of reviewing measurements in my ASVAB prep course.  When I teach Arithmetic Reasoning, I cover 15 subtopics.  One of them is the topic of measurement.  In my book, The ASVAB Tutor’s Arithmetic Reasoning Study Guide, I review different types of measurement.  Measurement of distance, weight, and liquid measurement as well as metric measurement are covered in my book and in my course.  Today’s question asks about the total number of inches in a mile.  To answer this question, it is necessary to know how many inches are in a foot and how many inches are in a mile.  Do you know how to solve this problem?   I will present the answer and explanation tomorrow.
