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. A polygon with six sides.






2. Things are Equal in Multitude when they are






3. Three or more line segments in a plane that forms a closed figure. The line segments never cross but meet at their endpoints.






4. Factors may be multiplied in any order.






5. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






6. If there are 3 Even integers in a set of integers being multiplied together - what is the result divisible by (in terms of power/base)? e.g. 2 x 5 x 6 x 10 = 600 E x O x E x E = div. by 23






7. Species are distinguished into






8. Zero divided by any whole number (except 0)






9. When working with nested signs of grouping






10. When Multiplying integers - if No integer is even - what is the result - (odd/even)?






11. What is the formula forCounting consecutive integers?






12. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






13. A number with an exponent of 3 is often said to be






14. 1 to any power is equal to






15. That which is referred to Unity as a Part to a Whole as - 1 half - 2 thirds - 1 third - 3 fourths - etc..






16. All whole numbers (both positive and negative) and zero.






17. The number doing the dividing is called the






18. The exact procedure for adding signed integers depends upon






19. 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.






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






21. 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






22. The lower number in a fraction is the






23. A polygon that has four sides






24. Always perform the operations






25. Assemble the mixed number. The whole-number part of the mixed number is the whole-number part of the quotient. The numerator of the fraction part of the mixed number is the remainder from the quotient. The denominator of the fraction part of the mixe






26. Odd +/- ? = Even e.g. 3 + 5 = 8 e.g. 13 + 19 = 32






27. An eight-sided polygon






28. Squaring a positive proper fraction/percent Increases/Decreases the value? e.g. 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16






29. Percent Decrease Formula ?






30. What are the 2 'percent change' equations?






31. The difference between the least and greatest values in a set of numbers.






32. 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.






33. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






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






35. Every number is contained in itself once.






36. Always check the solutions you get in the original equation! Squaring both sides can actually introduce and extraneous solution.






37. The ratio of a number to 100 (per one hundred). The symbol %






38. Any number with a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number with a positive exponent






39. Begins with zero and counts upward through tens - hundreds - thousands - millions - and so on. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - ... The scale on the number line begins with zero and runs to the right ('from zero to infinity').






40. To find the units digit of a product - or a sum of integers - Only pay attention to the units digit of the numbers you're working with. Drop any other digits. This shortcut works because only units digits contribute to the units digit of the product.






41. Whole is equal in Multitude to a Part of the other.






42. A ratio that shows the cost per unit of measure






43. In an equation made up of two fractions - the numerator of one fraction times the denominator of the other fraction.






44. Includes an integer as well as a fractional part






45. The Sum of n consecutive integers is Not divisible by n if n is






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






47. A number that is a factor of two or more numbers.






48. A value found by ordering a group of data from least to greatest and choosing the middle value of the group.






49. Method: convert Percent to Decimal?






50. Of two Unequal Multitudes - one that has a part equal in Multitude with the Whole of the other Multitude.
