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 mirror image of a figure shown over a line of reflection






2. Surface space that is measured in square units.






3. When a denominator of a fraction is 9 - 99 - 999 or another power of 10 minus 1 - what's an easy way of determining the REPEATING DIGITS of the decimal equivalent of the fraction?






4. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






5. A solid figure that has triangles for its sides and a polygon as its base






6. A parallelogram with four right angles






7. 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






8. An equation stating that two ratios are equal






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






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






11. Is a part which - being repeated a number of times - always exceeds or falls short of the whole - as 5 is of the numbers 8 and 12.

17. 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






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

22. The lower number in a fraction is the






23. A fraction with a numerator that is larger than or equal to its denominator.






24. Does not affect its value at all. Zeros that are used at the left end of a number are called leading zeros - and are used only for special reasons.

29. A quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides






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






31. If any one Part of a Whole is assumed - then the rest of the parts are called the Complement of that part to the whole.






32. A drawing of an object that is different in size (usually smaller than the original) but keeps the same proportions






33. Two numbers are said to be equal (=) when they are at






34. Step 1: Do the multiplication and division first - from left to right. Step 2: Do the addition and subtraction last - from left to right.






35. The vertical number line of a coordinate graph
