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. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






2. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






3. A unit for measuring area






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






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






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






7. A self-evident statement - that is - one that does not need to be demonstrated.






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






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






10. An equation stating that two ratios are equal






11. If the answer is not precise enough - Use the Heavy Division Shortcut when you need an approximate answer to a division problem using decimals that looks complex. Get a Single digit to the left of the decimal in the denominator. Do this by moving th






12. The part of a fraction that stands for the number of equal parts a whole or group is divided into.






13. For there to be X unique factors of X - what must be true?






14. A quantity that is whole and continuous - as a field - a circle - the universe - and so on. It is also called a 'Continued Quantity'.






15. The ratio of integers that results in a terminating decimal






16. Pick a value for all but one of the variables and then solve for the value of the remaining variable. Then - plug the numbers we've selected into the original expression to get the Target value - and TEST Each Answer CHOICE.






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






18. The numerator is greater than - or equal to - the denominator






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






20. Two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees

31. Is a term used to express quantity indefinitely and universally - such as 'a certain number' - 'some' etc...






32. This is an addition problem. Although the addends both have negative values - you still add their absolute values.
