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.
1. To make a fraction easier to work with by taking out common factors. In an expression - combining variables that have like unknowns.






2. Two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees






3. Things are Equal in Multitude when they are






4. A parallelogram with four right angles






5. You can Never pick a value for Every variable e.g. when the variables are related to each other through an equation






6. In a group of values - the value that occurs most often.






7. A fraction such as 12/16 might look a lot different from 3/4 - but it represents






8. 'y percent less than' = ?






9. If there are 3 Even integers in a set of integers being multiplied together - what is the result divisible by (in terms of power/base)? e.g. 2 x 5 x 6 x 10 = 600 E x O x E x E = div. by 23






10. Method: convert Percent to Decimal?






11. A positive whole number with more than two factors. In other words - a number that is not prime. Zero and one are neither composite nor prime.






12. When are you allowed to divide by a variable - (or Any expression) ?






13. The absolute value of numbers is indicated by






14. What are the 2 'percent change' equations?






15. When will a decimal Not terminate and why?






16. The two kinds of parts






17. Odd x Odd = ? e.g. 3 x 3 = 9 e.g. 5 x 11 = 55 e.g. 9 x 3 = 27






18. To find the units digit of a product - or a sum of integers - Only pay attention to the units digit of the numbers you're working with. Drop any other digits. This shortcut works because only units digits contribute to the units digit of the product.






19. A number with an exponent of 3 is often said to be






20. An angle measuring more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees






21. By the last letters (u - x - y - etc.)






22. A number that is a factor of two or more numbers.






23. If 2 numbers are OPPOSITES of each other






24. Step 1: Add the absolute values of the addends Step 2. Give the result the sign that is common to the addends






25. To indicate the subtraction operation - to indicate a negative integer value






26. Indicates the number of times the base is to be multiplied






27. Species and Number may be






28. 1: Add the absolute values of the addends 2. Give the result the sign that is common to the addends






29. 11/2 - 2 3/4 - 6 5/8 - -4 1/4






30. The horizontal number line of a coordinate graph






31. A parallelogram with four right angles






32. 3 ways to solve an absolute value inequality






33. A known quantity we refer to as One.






34. A unit for measuring area






35. A triangle with sides of different lengths and no two angles are the same






36. Rules that tell which steps to follow when solving an expression






37. Multiplying several Even integers together results in higher and higher powers of ...? Because each even number will contribute at LEAST one 2 to the factors of the product






38. A number with an exponent of 2 is often said to be






39. .625 --> Percent?






40. The Sum of n consecutive integers is divisible by n. What does this tell us about n - and why?






41. Change / Original Formula






42. Always check the solutions you get in the original equation! Squaring both sides can actually introduce and extraneous solution.






43. The lower number in a fraction is the






44. Any whole number can be expressed in terms of the






45. Reducing fractions is






46. Always try to Factor a quadratic equation






47. Original x (1 - x/100) = New






48. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






49. Step 1: Change the subtraction sign to the addition sign - and then switch the sign of the subtrahend the number that immediately follows the operation sign you just changed. Step 2: Add the result according to the procedures for adding signed intege






50. The difference between the least and greatest values in a set of numbers
