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. All whole numbers (both positive and negative) and zero.






2. Odd / Even = ? e.g. 9/6 = 1.5






3. Reducing fractions is






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






5. The denominator of the fraction part of the mixed number is






6. Having the same value






7. Even +/- Even = ? e.g. 10 + 20 = 30 e.g. 2 + 6 = 8






8. One of those primes must be the number __ ?






9. 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.






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






11. Total Sales or Revenue = ?






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






13. When working with nested signs of grouping






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






15. 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






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






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






18. The absolute value of the numerator is smaller than the absolute value of the denominator.






19. The ratio of integers that results in a terminating decimal






20. Things are Equal in Magnitude when they are






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






22. Two or more fractions that have the same denominator






23. A polygon with five sides

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






26. The part of a fraction that stands for the number of equal parts a whole or group is divided into.

28. The horizontal number line of a coordinate graph






29. Species and Number may be






30. A Polygon is a closed shape formed by






31. 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
