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 total of two or more numbers being added






2. Where do fractions occur on a number line?






3. The distance around a figure.






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. A self-evident statement - that is - one that does not need to be demonstrated.






11. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






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






13. 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.






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






15. Unit Profit = ?






16. Any number multiplied to form a product. A product can be divided by one factor to find the other factor.






17. Even / Odd = ? e.g. 12/3 = 4 e.g. 12/5 = 2.4






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






19. A fraction with a numerator that is larger than or equal to its denominator.






20. Any number with an exponent of 0






21. Has no sign value






22. What is the perimeter of a Polygon?






23. What is the formula forCounting consecutive integers?






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






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






27. Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees






28. A term that expresses quantity definitely and particularly - such as one - five - seven - and so on.






29. Is a part which - being repeated a number of times - always exceeds or falls short of the whole - as 5 is of the numbers 8 and 12.






30. Sale Price = ?






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






32. A parallelogram with four right angles






33. A number that when multiplied by itself results in the original number

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






36. A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has its endpoints on the circle






37. Once we have an equation of the form |x| = a - and x>0 - what do we know about x ?

42. A polygon with six sides.






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

45. Is the agreement of things in Quanity.






46. A statement that needs to be demonstrated and is called in Latin demonstrandum.
