Subjects : clep, math, algebra
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. To find the value of an expression






2. A model of an object in which the dimensions are in proportion to the actual dimensions of the object.






3. A statement that compares two quantities using < - > - = -= - or ?






4. The original amount of money loaned or borrowed






5. The y-value in a function






6. A rate that has a denominator of 1






7. Inequalities that have the same solution






8. The sum of a number and its opposite is zero.






9. When the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 1






10. Fractions that have the same value and the same simplest form






11. A mathematical notation indicating the number of times a quantity is multiplied by itself






12. The largest factor that two or more numbers have in common.






13. An equation that states that two ratios are equal - Ex: 1/2 = x/10






14. An event who's outcome does depend on the outcome of a previous event






15. The x-value in a function






16. Consists of numbers - variables - and operations






17. Terms that have identical variable parts raised to the same power






18. A ratio that compares two quantities measured in different units






19. A number written as the product of its prime factors






20. skip-counting by any given number Ex: 4 - 8 - 12 - 16...






21. The number that is on the other side of 0 and is exactly the same distance away from 0
