hello just want to tell you how much I'm learning from you. so I have a question on test part 1. Where Brandon and Brad earn wages how do you solve for Brandon and get 26.25 where does the .25 comes from? thank you for your explanation.
Thank you. The remainder after the division is 10, I take the remainder and divide it by the 40 for the partial amount of a dollar. 10/40 reduces to 1/4 and 1/4 of a dollar is the 25 cents. Good luck!
If you’re looking to enlist and are uncomfortable with your mathematics skills this channel is just for you! I recently took a practice afqt at my local recruiting office and made a 73. I wasn’t happy with that score as math is my worst subject and I knew I could do better. After spending ONLY a week watching this channel (along with a few others) but more so this than any other, I took the actual ASVAB and PICAT and I made an overall percentile score of 88! Thank you so much @ColfaxMath thanks to you and your videos I have my choice of almost any career in the army. Subscribe to this guy and hit the like button so TH-cam suggests this channel to those who need it. (for other subjects like general science check out some other channels or apps that you can download) make sure to do your research on these though as I’ve found that some are scams and give incorrect answers. Anyways happy testing fellow problem solvers!🎉
Stop belitting yourself and pull yourself together. Take your time on each questions and read what the question is asking you. If you don't know the answer to a question, just take a guess. Read books everyday and practice math everyday. You got this.
Hey for #6 I did it wrong because I got the % of 7/8 which lead me to 87.5 where I x it by 210 which got me 183.7 which rounded is 184. Then after looking at the answer I was like oh im suppose to divide the fractions here which I know how to do. My question here is how do I differentiate from one or the other because realistically if this problem came up again I would 9/10 pick the way I first did it.
There are two equations with two variables. There are alot of different ways to solve, one of which is substitution, not necessarily the best, just the one I chose to solve for one variable
Set up two equations with two variables. First equation is that dad is 5 times as old as Matt. 5m=d. Then substitute that in the second equation of.their age difference
Number 7 and 9 were explained pretty well IMO. Number 7 was super easy either way. Number 9 was also easy. You might want to take a little more time to understand what's going on with the explanation. With number 9, the gist of the problem is as such- One person is paying a set price we will call "X" and is paying 100% of that price, whereas the other person is paying 12% more than "X" amount. That's how you got the 100 and 112. First price is 100% and the other is 112%. All he did was simplify as far as it could go until he reached a ratio that was an option in the 4 choices.

Also having a notebook to write down and work the problems as you go helps a lot. Don’t just watch the videos. Practice and repetition are key. 🔑
Very kind words, thank you. I'm glad it was helpful
Great advice
I love your videos they actually go into depth and it seems like I'm learning more from you than I did in highschool or college
I'm glad they are helping
I take my ASVAB tomorrow and I’m so scared I won’t pass. I’m super dumb already

You can do it
@@ColfaxMath continue the job I just give a sub
Thanks for the help, I'm doing my ASVAB TEST ON MONDAY, YOUR METHODS SIMPLE AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND, THANK YOU SIR.
Never doubt yourself!
These videos are helpful
Thank you
hello where can I find the answer key for example test?
I think you need a Google account to access the document. Sorry about the sound
Hello! I got a question, how can you find that it is division or multiplication or addiction, subtraction in these type of questions?
Sometimes there is a key word to let you know. Product is always multiply, sum.is always add, difference is always subtraction
@@ColfaxMath okay! Thank you.
@@AmanKaur-rq4rg Thank you for watching

Really go slow and decide the problem, what is it they are asking for, then once you identify what the question is asking, then find the solution
On prob. 6 the question says the garden is divided already but don't tell us to divide therefore 7/8 doesn't need to flip meaning 184 is correct???
I dont understand on pro.4 why we sub?
There are two equations with two variables. There are alot of different ways to solve, one of which is substitution, not necessarily the best, just the one I chose to solve for one variable
@@ColfaxMathokay but why the sub ? And why two equations? Can Matthew dad just be x? So like 5x/5 =28?
Please answer! On problem 4 how did you get 4m??
Set up two equations with two variables. First equation is that dad is 5 times as old as Matt. 5m=d. Then substitute that in the second equation of.their age difference
Thank you
In problem 7 how did you get 5%?
The difference between first graders (30 percent) and third graders (25 percent) 30-25= 5
On number 7 and 9 I feel like you rushed and didn’t really solve it out for understanding. Overall good video.
Sorry to hear that I'll work on it

I don’t agree with question 2. I feel the answer is C
Ok
@@ColfaxMath am I wrong
yes, its answer b, you need 6 packs @@solomonafara2059
Got 4 wrong !!!!!!
Am suprised I got so many right...
