CLEP General Mathematics: Arithmetic Basics

Subjects : clep, math
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

18. Trading decimal places refers to moving the decimals in the opposite direction the same number of places - when multiplying a very large number and a very small number.






19. Dividing by two digit numbers - Make use of estimation to assist in finding the quotient. Do this by rounding both the target digits of the dividend and the factoring divisor.

21. The absolute value of the numerator is smaller than the absolute value of the denominator.






22. Indicates the number to be multiplied






23. A terminating decimal only arises as a result of an integer _____________. i.e. the denominator should only have prime factors of 2 and/or 5






24. An equation stating that two ratios are equal






25. Multitude viewed in relation to something else - as greater - smaller - half - double - and so on.






26. Taken together - the multiplicand and multiplier are known as






27. The point of intersection for two sides of a plane figure - three sides of a solid figure - or the endpoints of two rays that form an angle.






28. A solid figure that has two congruent - parallel polygons as its bases. Its sides are parallelograms.






29. Step 1: Find any integer greater than 1 that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator. Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the integer from Step 1. Repeat Steps until the fraction is completely reduced.

33. Has no sign value






34. Part of the population that is studied to find the characteristics of the whole population.






35. Step 1: Subtract the absolute values of the addends Step 2. Give the result the sign of the addend that has larger absolute value






36. A whole number can be expressed as an improper fraction by

41. The result of the multiplication is called the






42. The formula for the Area of a Rhombus is?






43. Multiply the numerator of a positive - proper fraction by 1/2 Explain why this is true: True because: When you square a variable x - the result is positive - no matter what the sign of the base.Remember - even exponents hide the sign of the base. The






44. Another way to find the sum of the interior angles in a Polygon - apart from using the formula - is ? E.G. a Hexagon can be divided into 4 triangles by 3 lines connecting the corners. Therefore the sum of its angles is 4(180) = 720deg.
