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.

28. 3.1415.... is an irrational number resulting from the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter






29. The distance a number is from 0 on the number line - value of n is written l n l






30. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






31. In a sum - you can add terms in any order - a + b = b + a






32. A number that can not be written a/b






33. The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon






34. The ratio of the number of ways the event can occur to the number of ways the event cannot occur. Favorable over Unfavorable.

43. The distance across a circle through its center (is also twice the radius)






44. The least common multiple of the denominators of two or more fractions.






45. Is the value in a data set that occurs most often. If all values occur the same amount of times there is no mode for that set.
