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. Factors may be multiplied in any order.






2. The largest integer that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator.






3. What is the result of Adding 2 Odds or 2 Evens? e.g. 7 + 11 = 18 e.g. 8 + 6 = 14






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






5. By the first letters of the alphabet (a - b - c - d - etc..)






6. Two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees.






7. In a division problem - the number that an amount is divided by






8. The likelihood that an event will occur. The probability that an event will occur is 0 - 1 - or somewhere between 0 and 1.






9. When Multiplying integers - if Any integer is even - what is the result - (odd/even)?






10. All the positive whole numbers






11. How many Even primes are there?






12. Lines in the same plane that do not intersect. The symbol //






13. A quantity consisting of disconnected parts - as three stones or seven coins. It may be also called a 'Discontinued Quantity'.






14. Includes an integer as well as a fractional part






15. The absolute value of numbers is indicated by






16. Species and Number may be






17. Use to cancel factors. - Also fractions are the best way of exactly expressing proportions that don't have clean decimal equivalents such as 1/7. In some cases it might be easier to compare a bunch of fractions by giving them all a common denominator






18. A triangle that has three equal sides and three equal angles






19. 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






20. Cross-multiply






21. A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign






22. One of the four regions formed by the intersection of the axes of a coordinate graph






23. Is equal to the original value. a x 1 = 1






24. Every number is contained in itself once.






25. A fraction with all common factors (other than 1) factored out of the numerator and denominator






26. Three or more line segments in a plane that forms a closed figure. The line segments never cross but meet at their endpoints.






27. Units that are understood under the same notion - such as a pound of stones and a pound of feathers - or an inch of string and an inch of wood.






28. When Multiplying integers - if No integer is even - what is the result - (odd/even)?






29. An angle measuing more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees






30. Operations that do the exact opposite of each other; they undo each other (addition and subtraction - for example)






31. What are the properties of the diagonals of a Rhombus?






32. Having the same value






33. Any number with a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number with a positive exponent






34. A value found by ordering a group of data from least to greatest and choosing the middle value of the group.






35. A number is increased by 25%... what must you reduce the new number by to get the old number again?






36. Method: convert Percent to Decimal?






37. A value found by ordering a group of data from least to greatest and choosing the middle value of the group.






38. Switch to a number-picking strategy






39. Profit = ?






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






41. 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.






42. A solid figure with two congruent and parallel circular bases






43. Multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same integer value.






44. When the factors of a number are all prime numbers - the factors are said to be the






45. A sign of grouping can be omitted when it






46. 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.






47. Unknown quantities by the first letters of the alphabet (a - b - c - d - etc..); Known quantities by the last letters (u - x - y - etc.)






48. The result of the multiplication is called the






49. A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent - parallel sides






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