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 result of the multiplication is called the






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






3. The horizontal number line of a coordinate graph






4. The two kinds of Magnitude are






5. Has no sign value






6. What is an evenly-spaced set?






7. The base of a triangle refers to?






8. 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.






9. Figures that have the same shape but different sizes; their sides are proportional - while their corresponding angles are equal






10. Surface space that is measured in square units.






11. Odd x ? = Even






12. Operations enclosed in a sign of grouping






13. Two or more fractions that have the same denominator






14. Species of Quantities are signified by






15. Rules that tell which steps to follow when solving an expression






16. The numerator of the fraction part of the mixed number is the remainder from the






17. Any whole number can be expressed in terms of the






18. Indicates the number to be multiplied






19. The total of two or more numbers being added






20. Use to estimate or compare quantities - the implied denominator is 100 so you can easily compare percents (of the same whole) to each other.






21. The ratio of integers that results in a terminating decimal






22. Always perform the operations






23. What rule is essential to follow when solving ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS?






24. Or demonstration - is a connection of arguments used to demonstrate the truth or falsehood of a statement.






25. Operations that do the exact opposite of each other; they undo each other (addition and subtraction - for example)






26. The point of intersection for two sides of a plane figure - three sides of a solid figure - or the endpoints of two rays that form an angle.






27. To make a fraction easier to work with by taking out common factors. In an expression - combining variables that have like unknowns.






28. Is a part which - being repeated a number of times - becomes equal to the whole; as 4 is of the numbers 8 and 12.






29. Adding integers that have opposite signs means






30. Is equal to the original value. a x 1 = 1






31. A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign






32. Basic Number Properties and elementary operations.






33. The distance around a figure.






34. 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






35. Units that are understood under the same notion - such as a pound of stones and a pound of feathers - or an inch of string and an inch of wood.






36. 1 to any power is equal to






37. When working with nested signs of grouping






38. 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.






39. A quantity that is whole and continuous - as a field - a circle - the universe - and so on. It is also called a 'Continued Quantity'.






40. The study of quantity






41. A triangle with sides of different lengths and no two angles are the same






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






43. To indicate the addition operation- to indicate a positive integer value






44. Is equal to zero. 0 x a = 0






45. All the positive whole numbers






46. A drawing of an object that is different in size (usually smaller than the original) but keeps the same proportions






47. When performing routine arithmetic operations with fractions - it is often necessary to convert a fraction to higher terms. This means you multiply both the numerator and denominator by a particular integer value.






48. Decreasing the Denominator of a fraction Increases/Decreases the value?






49. Is the opposite of raising fractions to higher terms.






50. When are you allowed to divide by a variable - (or Any expression) ?
