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.

5. The terms Species and Number






6. 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.






7. Everything may be assumed as unity.






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






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






10. The ratio of a number to 100 (per one hundred); the symbol %






11. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






12. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






13. The whole-number part of the mixed number is the whole-number part of the






14. Expresses fractional parts that are greater than 1.






15. The exact procedure for adding signed integers depends upon






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






17. ' x percent' = ?






18. To make a fraction easier to work with by taking out common factors






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






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






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






22. The formula for the Area of a Rhombus is?






23. 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






24. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






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






26. A terminating decimal only arises as a result of an integer _____________. i.e. the denominator should only have prime factors of 2 and/or 5






27. 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

29. In an equation made up of two fractions - the numerator of one fraction times the denominator of the other fraction.






30. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






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






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

43. What is the increment of a set of consecutive integers?






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






45. 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.
