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. The purpose of the first step in Changing Integer Subtraction to Integer Addition is to






2. 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






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






4. 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.






5. The absolute value of the numerator is smaller than the absolute value of the denominator.






6. Even / Even = ? e.g. 12/2 = 6 e.g. 12/4 = 3 e.g. 12/8 = 1.5






7. A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has its endpoints on the circle. It describes how wide the circle is.






8. One of those primes must be the number __ ?






9. A polygon with six sides.






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






11. Expresses fractional parts that are greater than 1.






12. Having the same value






13. A known quantity we refer to as One.

25. Are located to the right of the zero on the integer number line. Positive integers are sometimes indicated with a positive sign ( + ). More often - however - we omit the positive sign. So when you see an integer value that does not have a sign - you






26. What are the only prime factors that a fraction resulting in a terminating decimals have?






27. Consecutive Integers alternate between ___ and ___ ? e.g. 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - E -O -E -O -E






28. The whole is equal to all of its parts taken together.






29. Every quantity is equal to itself.






30. Multiply the numerator of a positive - proper fraction by 1/2 Explain why this is true: True because: When you square a variable x - the result is positive - no matter what the sign of the base.Remember - even exponents hide the sign of the base. The
