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.

19. 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').






20. Includes an integer as well as a fractional part






21. Odd / Odd = ? e.g. 15/5 = 3 e.g. 15/25 = 0.6






22. The sum of a group of numbers divided by the number of numbers. Also known as the average.






23. Having the same size and shape






24. Change + - Original = New






25. An integer is its value without regard to the sign - Or is its distance from the origin (zero) on the number line.






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






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

29. 1 to any power is equal to






30. The likelihood that an event will occur. The probability that an event will occur is 0 - 1 - or somewhere between 0 and 1.






31. 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.






32. A ratio that compares two different types of quantities






33. A terminating decimal only arises as a result of an integer _____________. i.e. the denominator should only have prime factors of 2 and/or 5






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






35. 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.

46. 1: Add the absolute values of the addends 2. Give the result the sign that is common to the addends






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






48. Is the agreement of things in Quanity.






49. A comparison of the two values of two numbers
