ASVAB Practice Test: Video 3 Answers (25 Questions)

Question 1

Two vehicles start from the same point and travel in opposite directions at 40 mph and 55 mph. How far apart are they after 3 hours?

Accepted Answer

285 miles

Answer

Combined speed = 40 + 55 = 95 mph; distance = 95 × 3 = 285 miles apart.

Question 2

A project requires 360 work-hours. If a team of 9 people works 8 hours a day, how many days will the project take?

Accepted Answer

5 days

Answer

The team produces 9 × 8 = 72 work-hours per day; 360 ÷ 72 = 5 days.

Question 3

Which of the following is NOT a factor of 90?

Accepted Answer

12

Answer

A factor of a number divides into that number evenly, with no remainder. We can check each option: 90/5 = 18, 90/6 = 15, and 90/15 = 6, so 5, 6, and 15 are all factors of 90. However, 90 divided by 12 results in 7.5, which is not an integer. Therefore, 12 is not a factor of 90.

Question 4

A soldier earns $2,400 per month. If 15% is withheld for taxes, how much does the soldier take home each month?

Accepted Answer

$2,040

Answer

15% of $2,400 is $360, so $2,400 – $360 = $2,040 take-home pay.

Question 5

A tank holds 240 gallons and is currently 3/8 full. How many gallons are needed to fill it completely?

Accepted Answer

150 gallons

Answer

The tank has 3/8 × 240 = 90 gallons, so it needs 240 – 90 = 150 more gallons.
