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.

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






4. 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






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

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






8. The greater any number is in comparison to another - the more equal parts will it contain of that other.






9. Step 1: Find any integer greater than 1 that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator. Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the integer from Step 1. Repeat Steps until the fraction is completely reduced.

11. Step 1: Subtract the absolute values. Step 2. Write the sum with the sign of the larger number.






12. In order to understand and use exponents that are fractions or decimals - you must first know about






13. 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






14. 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 intege
