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. When will a decimal terminate and why?






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






4. Change / Original Formula






5. Divide the denominator into the numerator. Use ordinary whole-number division that produces a quotient and a remainder.






6. A polygon with five sides






7. Step 1: Divide the denominator into the numerator. Use ordinary whole-number division that produces a quotient and a remainder. Step 2: Assemble the mixed number. The whole-number part of the mixed number is the whole-number part of the quotient from






8. Expresses fractional parts that are greater than 1.






9. A whole number that has only one set of factors - itself and 1.






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






11. A triangle with one right angle






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






13. 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.






14. The absolute value of numbers is indicated by






15. A unit for measuring area






16. The sum of a group of numbers divided by the number of numbers. Also known as the average.






17. Any number with an exponent of 0






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






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






20. The number being multiplied is called the






21. Things are Equal in Magnitude when they are






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






23. A parallelogram with all sides equal and congruent






24. Describe the VIC solving method of Picking Numbers & Calculating a Target... When is this method useful?

25. 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






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






27. The absolute value of the numerator is greater than - or equal to - the absolute value of the denominator.






28. A number that when multiplied by itself results in the original number






29. Basic Number Properties and elementary operations.






30. Odd +/- ? = Even e.g. 3 + 5 = 8 e.g. 13 + 19 = 32






31. The distance around a figure.






32. The number doing the dividing is called the






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






34. Dividing by two digit numbers - Make use of estimation to assist in finding the quotient. Do this by rounding both the target digits of the dividend and the factoring divisor.






35. ' x percent' = ?






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






37. 0 to any power is equal to






38. The part of a fraction that stands for how many parts of a whole or group are included in the fraction.






39. Describe the steps for solving a VICS problem using 'Pick Numbers & Calculate a Target'

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






41. Trading decimal places refers to moving the decimals in the opposite direction the same number of places - when multiplying a very large number and a very small number.






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






43. The point of intersection for two sides of a plane figure - three sides of a solid figure - or the endpoints of two rays that form an angle.






44. A term that expresses quantity definitely and particularly - such as one - five - seven - and so on.






45. 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 integ






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. The whole-number system uses only ten characters -0 through 9.






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






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






50. Things are Equal in Multitude when they are
