A pizza is cut into 12 equal slices. If 4 people share the pizza equally, how many slices does each person get?

This is a basic division problem: 12 slices ÷ 4 people = 3 slices per person. Word problems on the ASVAB require translating the situation into a math operation. Look for keywords: 'share equally' or 'divided equally' indicates division; 'total' or 'altogether' indicates addition; 'how much more' or 'difference' indicates subtraction; 'each' or 'per' often indicates division or multiplication. The strategy is to identify what is being asked, set up the operation, and verify the answer makes sense in context. Here, 3 × 4 = 12 confirms the answer. The Arithmetic Reasoning section emphasizes setting up the problem correctly more than complex calculations.
