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 horizontal number line of a coordinate graph






2. Are located to the left of the zero on the integer number line. Negative-value integers use the same symbols as the whole number system - but are distinguished by the use of a negative sign ( - ). Numbers 5 and - 5 - for example - might resemble one






3. Every lesser homogeneous number is contained in a greater either as an aliquot or an aliquant part.






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

6. Reversed position or direction






7. If 2 numbers are OPPOSITES of each other






8. The vertical number line of a coordinate graph






9. A collection of things taken as a Unity. A bushel of wheat is a whole.






10. 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').






11. What are the properties of the diagonals of a Rhombus?






12. Does not affect its value at all. Zeros that are used at the left end of a number are called leading zeros - and are used only for special reasons.






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






14. Original x (1 - x/100) = New






15. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






16. A length that is half the diameter of a circle; the distance from the center of the circle to the circle itself.






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






18. What is the formula forCounting consecutive integers?






19. 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






20. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






21. When will a decimal Not terminate and why?






22. Operations enclosed in a sign of grouping






23. A solid figure that has two congruent - parallel polygons as its bases. Its sides are parallelograms






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






25. When the product in the 1's column is greater than 9

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






27. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. This becomes the numerator of the improper fraction.






28. Total Earnings ($) = ?






29. When the factors of a number are all prime numbers - the factors are said to be the






30. What is the result of Adding or Subtracting and Odd with an Even (or an Even with an Odd)? e.g. 7 + 8 = 15 e.g. 13 - 2 = 11






31. A number is increased by 25%... what must you reduce the new number by to get the old number again?






32. 1: Add the absolute values of the addends 2. Give the result the sign that is common to the addends






33. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






34. By the first letters of the alphabet (a - b - c - d - etc..)






35. Two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees






36. Step 1: Subtract the absolute values of the addends Step 2. Give the result the sign of the addend that has larger absolute value






37. An angle measuing more than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees






38. Step 1: Subtract the absolute values. Step 2. Write the sum with the sign of the larger number.






39. The greater any number is in comparison to another - the more equal parts will it contain of that other.






40. The four Mathematical arts are:






41. Are located to the right of the zero on the integer number line. Positive integers are sometimes indicated with a positive sign ( + ). More often - however - we omit the positive sign. So when you see an integer value that does not have a sign - you






42. 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.






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






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






45. If any one Part of a Whole is assumed - then the rest of the parts are called the Complement of that part to the whole.






46. A sign of grouping can be omitted when it
