  • In this video, I show you what it takes to master the Arithmetic Reasoning section of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). Specifically, I work out some challenging problems from a full-length practice exam. If you found the content in this video helpful, please consider donating to me directly via PayPal: www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr....
    After reviewing the video, I realized that I didn't explain the first question as clearly as I could have, and in light of that, I want to add this:
    Let P represent Patricia's age, and let X represent her daughter's age.
    We are told Patricia is 45, and she is 15 years older than twice her daughter's age.
    So, we can say:
    P = 45, also P = 2x + 15, and her daughter's age = x (unknown).
    With this information, we can solve for x by setting 45 equal to 2x + 15, that is:
    2x +15 = 45.
    Once you solve for x, you will know how hold her daughter is.

    The problem with the NASA minutes 42.37, you can divide 197 by 15 and get 13.13
    Then you can multiply 13.13x60 =787.8 which is basically the same as 788.
    Thank you for all the wonderful videos I will be taking the ASVAB soon.

    Hey @GrammarHero @31:59 I don’t know if I’m correct or wrong. But it said the sum of Laura and patricia’s ages will be 42. So what I did was plug in the multiple choice questions to find Laura’s age and patricia’s age, then added their ages to 42. My answer was D. 28.

    28:20 thats weird tho, the balloon is 500 feet in the air, sergeant comes out across, it didn't say he was elevated just across 300 feet, balloon never changed its height shouldn't it still be 500 feet, i guess trying to use my common sense didn't work lmaooo. its like saying i'm 5'7 tall, someone across ask how tall am i? i'm still 5'7 whether they are next to me or across the room.
