Operations with Fractions | Grammar Hero's Free ASVAB/PiCAT Tutoring and Guided Practice

[@drewhighfill9253]

Took my final practice today with my recruiter to see if he was comfortable with my score to go on to MEPs. I went from a 25 to a 72!! Thank you for everything you have done! It’s time to go off to MEPs, take the ASVAB, and get shipped off to basic! Now I know I will get the MOS I’ve been trying so hard to get. Seriously, thank you Mr. Grammar Hero! Your time is highly valued!

[@GrammarHero]

Good luck on the ASVAB! If you got a 72 on the practice test, you should be fine.

[@drewhighfill9253]

@@GrammarHero Thank you! Hearing that takes a lot of weight off of my shoulders. My recruiter had a bigger smile on his face than I did. I had to ask “Is that good?” He replied “Oh yeah. That’s great! You will have a big list of MOS to choose from when you get back.” I’ve come miles away from where I started, and it’s all starting to come together. Hard Work Pays Off.

@@dantegad9838 They were a little challenging, but if you use Grammar Hero’s Arithmetic Reasoning Practice Test videos, they will be easy for you. Just listen to how GH reads the question and turns the word problem into something solvable. I would do what he says, and pause the video and try it yourself first. And if you do not understand the question or what to do, just continue watching. Make sure you work it out yourself after you watched him do it. Practice and take notes, and you will be fine. You will see that most of the problems that Grammar Hero goes through are very similar to what’s on the practice test and the ASVAB. Using GH’s website he made helped a lot as well. asvabapp.com If you follow his advice, you will do great. Watching his Percent Word Problem video helped too because you learn how to break the word problems down into a workable equation. The playlist that has 73 videos, go and start watching those. Watch the basics, then go to the practice tests, they are labeled with each section he is using in the time stamps, so if you don’t really understand, pull up the video that the time stamp says in another tab. Then go back to it and try it yourself again.

JUST found these videos... I've been studying little by little. I took my PiCat 3 weeks ago, I got a 36 on it, decided to retake so I take the in-person ASVAB tomorrow at 12... so only 3 weeks of studying. Thank you for these videos, find me watching these ALL day. Go Air Force!

[@GrammarHero]

Good luck!

[@cvleb777]

Repeated this video 3 times throughout the day till I got it. Have a lot more to go.

[@DavidGonzales-j9m]

23:41 I need to remember that you have to add the negatives not subtract them So now i understand basic math principles on how you got 81 instead of -34 Because negative minus a negative will always be the combine negative (-71)

[@DavidGonzales-j9m]

That dam final step of simply the fraction always kicks my ass Only thing I need to remember is can we simply our final fraction Hopefully over practice I keep that in mind to always think about simply

[@DavidGonzales-j9m]

This was for the video with reciprocal of fractions

[@bboytosoldier1588]

why am I not retaining this video uhgggg watched a million times

[@GrammarHero]

If you don't get it right away, you should move on and come back later. There's no point in beating yourself up about these questions. Honestly, this video is really challenging, but the reason I like it is because it forces you to perform a lot of operations with fractions (e.g., add, subtract, multiply, divide, square, and cube) at roughly the same time. Don't stress it. Move on.

[@xzilio]

Hi Grammar Hero, do I always move the negative symbol to the numerator if the fraction has a negative symbol next to it? Each video has been helping me so far, thank you.

[@arbingordon7508]

20:25 What? There was no explanation for why you did LCF for 16 and 4 in other previous videos so I'm confused as to how it made it easier. My first instinct was to just multiply across with 16 x 5 and 81 x 4 and that was easiest, what was done wrong?

[@GrammarHero]

In my very first video on fractions, which you can find in this playlist ( kzbin.info/aero/PLhlU-GzAQeG3rQjliSl-ThN_L2lF1iABE ), I discuss everything thing you need to know about fractions, including how to find common factors. If you're struggling to understand these questions, then you need to start with the first video on fractions.

[@juliolandaverde684]

@@GrammarHero I thought finding common factors would only apply to adding and subtracting fractions

[@juliolandaverde684]

@@GrammarHero When is it necessary to find the common factors of numerators? and does it apply to adding, subtracting, multiplying, and division?

[@MiguelRodriguez-u2p]

I have a doubt about multiplying across, keep trying to find a common denominator before doing so, what should I keep in mind to not make that mistake? we always multiply across without a common denominator?

[@david-caingonzales7124]

We aren't cross-multiplying. We are cross-reducing. Here is a video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKGoopqJl7-GjZI

Can you explain how you are reducing the fractions while you are solving the equation? Like the whole cross reducing technique. I'm just so confused.

My advice is to watch the videos in my 2021 ASVAB study guide here (kzbin.info/aero/PLhlU-GzAQeG1G47T95OqJkcjazmgLE6Tg ), but unfortunately, it'll probably take you more than two weeks to get through it. Because of that, you may just want to focus on the practice tests in there. Good luck!
