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 vertical number line of a coordinate graph






2. The whole is more or greater than its part.






3. 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.






4. The two kinds of Magnitude are






5. A sign of grouping can be omitted when it






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






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






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






9. 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 integ






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






11. The whole-number system uses only ten characters -0 through 9.






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






13. The two kinds of Multitude






14. Reducing fractions is






15. The action of the mind whereby a quantity is measured by Unity or a Unit.






16. A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent - parallel sides






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






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






19. Having the same size and shape






20. Surface space that is measured in square units






21. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






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






23. A Polygon is a closed shape formed by






24. Dividing by two digit numbers - Make use of estimation to assist in finding the quotient. Do this by rounding both the target digits of the dividend and the factoring divisor.






25. The number being divided is called the






26. 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






27. A number with only two factors: the number itself and one.






28. If a quantity is decreased by x percent - then what - in algebraic terms - is the new quantity as a percent of the original?

29. The value on the x-axis used to locate a point on the coordinate graph. It is the first value in an ordered pair.






30. 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






31. Adding integers that have the same sign means






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






33. 3/2 - 8/3 - -16/5 - 7/7






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






35. One number is said to be less than (<) another when it is






36. To indicate the subtraction operation - to indicate a negative integer value






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






38. Change + - Original = New






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






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






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






42. In a group of values - the value that occurs most often.






43. Every quantity is equal to itself.






44. Always perform combinations of multiplication and division before
