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






2. Always perform the operations






3. 1.) Average the first and last term to find the median of the set (which equals the average) = (100 + 20)/2 = 60 2) Count the number of terms ( 100 - 20 + 1 = 81) 3. Sum = Ave. x Number of terms = 60 x 81 = 4860 Answer = 4860






4. Be careful not to assume that a quadratic equation always has _____ _____. Always _____ quadratic equations to determine their solutions. This will enable you to see whether a quadratic equation has ____ or ____ solutions






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






6. The four Mathematical arts are:






7. The distance around a circle (the perimeter of a circle)






8. Surface space that is measured in square units.






9. A length that is half the diameter of a circle; the distance from the center of the circle to the circle itself.






10. 1/2 - 1/3 - 2/3 - -5/8






11. Whole is equal in Multitude to a Part of the other.






12. The number to be multiplied by is called the






13. Use to estimate or compare quantities - the implied denominator is 100 so you can easily compare percents (of the same whole) to each other.






14. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






15. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






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






17. Factors may be multiplied in any order.






18. In a division problem - it's the number being divided






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






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






21. A length that is half the diameter of a circle; the distance from the center of the circle to the circle itself






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






23. The vertical number line of a coordinate graph






24. An equation stating that two ratios are equal






25. The result of muliplying two or more numbers






26. A decimal which ends without repeating e.g. 0.2 - 0.47 - 0.375 the ratio of integers that results in a terminating decimal






27. Unit Profit = ?






28. A ratio that shows the cost per unit of measure






29. Is the agreement of things in Quanity.






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






31. A triangle with one right angle






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






33. No integer (except 1) that divides evenly into both the numerator and denominator.






34. Is a part which - being repeated a number of times - becomes equal to the whole; as 4 is of the numbers 8 and 12.






35. Of two Unequal Magnitudes - one that has a part Equal in Magnitude with the Whole of the other Magnitude.






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






37. 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.






38. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






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






40. The ratio of a number to 100 (per one hundred). The symbol %






41. A polygon that has four sides.






42. The horizontal number line of a coordinate graph






43. Zero divided by any whole number (except 0)






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






45. Signs of grouping may be nested






46. A statement that needs to be demonstrated and is called in Latin demonstrandum.






47. A number with only two factors: the number itself and one.






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






49. The smallest multiple that two or more numbers have in common






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