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






2. The distance around a circle (the perimeter of a circle).






3. What is the perimeter of a Polygon?






4. Always try to Factor a quadratic equation






5. 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.






6. The terms Species and Number






7. One of the four regions formed by the intersection of the axes of a coordinate graph






8. In a division problem - it's the number being divided






9. A combination of numbers and variables connected by one or more operations signs






10. Find the largest number of times the divisor will divide into the dividend. This is the quotient. To determine the remainder - multiply the quotient by the divisor - then subtract the result from the dividend.






11. The value that shows the relationship of a circle's circumference to its diameter; it has an approximate value of 3.14






12. Units that are not understood under the same notion - such as a pound of stones and a ton of stones - or an inch of string and a foot of string.






13. Expresses fractional parts that are greater than 1.






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






15. A parallelogram with all sides equal and congruent






16. The ratio of a number to 100 (per one hundred); the symbol %






17. A whole number can be expressed as an improper fraction by






18. The Only possible factors for a prime number are






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






20. The two kinds of Quantity are






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






22. Change/Original = New






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






24. Multiply the numerator of a positive - proper fraction by 1/2 Explain why this is true: True because: When you square a variable x - the result is positive - no matter what the sign of the base.Remember - even exponents hide the sign of the base. The






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






26. A number that is a multiple of all denominators in a problem.






27. For there to be X unique factors of X - what must be true?






28. ' x percent' = ?






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






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






31. Total Earnings ($) = ?






32. Breaking down a composite number until all of the factors are prime






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






34. The value on the y-axis used to locate a point on the coordinate graph. It is the second value in an ordered pair.






35. A value that combines a whole number and a fractional amount






36. A number that is not a prime number is called a






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






38. The whole is equal to all of its parts taken together.






39. The largest single factor for two or more numbers.






40. 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






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






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






43. 'y percent less than' = ?






44. Unknown quantities by the first letters of the alphabet (a - b - c - d - etc..); Known quantities by the last letters (u - x - y - etc.)






45. The process of breaking a number down into its factors is called






46. The amount that remains after one number has been subtracted from another






47. The sum of a group of numbers divided by the number of numbers; also known as the average






48. Having the same size and shape






49. Reducing fractions is






50. A fraction with all common factors (other than 1) factored out of the numerator and denominator
