A road runs parallel to a set of train tracks. A car and a train start moving in opposite directions from the same point at the same time. The car travels at 45 miles per hour, while the train travels at 60 miles per hour. How long will it be until the car and the train are 100 miles apart?

The Arithmetic Reasoning subtest on the ASVAB measures your ability to pull information from word problems and solve mathematical concepts in real-world situations. Like the Mathematics Knowledge subtest, it formulates a big part of your AFQT score, and it’s also used to help determine which jobs you’ll be most suited for when you’re in the military.    The Arithmetic Reasoning subtest requires you to read a word problem, figure out what mathematical concept it’s asking you to use, and arrive at the correct answer. It includes questions that involve fact-finding, algebra, and geometry. This... Show more
