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. Two or more fractions that have the same denominator






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






3. The two kinds of Quantity are






4. Unit Profit = ?






5. A number with an exponent of 2 is often said to be






6. Every lesser number is contained in a greater more than once.






7. Is Always perpendicular (at 90 deg. to) the base!






8. The vertical number line of a coordinate graph






9. A polygon that has four sides






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






11. The result of dividing one number by another; the solution to a division problem






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






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






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






15. Shifts all the others upward one place value. The result is exactly ten times larger than before the zero is added.






16. All the positive whole numbers






17. Use to cancel factors. - Also fractions are the best way of exactly expressing proportions that don't have clean decimal equivalents such as 1/7. In some cases it might be easier to compare a bunch of fractions by giving them all a common denominator






18. A triangle with two equal sides and two equal angles






19. A value that combines a whole number and a fractional amount






20. The result of the multiplication is called the






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






22. Divide the denominator into the numerator. Use ordinary whole-number division that produces a quotient and a remainder.






23. 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.






24. What are the 2 'percent change' equations?






25. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






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






27. 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






28. Even X Even = ? ... and is div. by ?






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






30. The two kinds of Magnitude are






31. A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign






32. A parallelogram with all sides equal and congruent






33. Odd x Odd = ? e.g. 3 x 3 = 9 e.g. 5 x 11 = 55 e.g. 9 x 3 = 27






34. 5/8 --> Decimal ?






35. Of two Unequal Multitudes - one that has a part equal in Multitude with the Whole of the other Multitude.






36. A positive whole number with more than two factors. In other words - a number that is not prime. Zero and one are neither composite nor prime.






37. The distance around a figure.






38. The difference between the least and greatest values in a set of numbers






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






40. The number to be multiplied by is called the






41. 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.






42. Another way to find the sum of the interior angles in a Polygon - apart from using the formula - is ? E.G. a Hexagon can be divided into 4 triangles by 3 lines connecting the corners. Therefore the sum of its angles is 4(180) = 720deg.






43. Describe the VIC solving method of Picking Numbers & Calculating a Target... When is this method useful?

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/basicversity.com/show_quiz.php on line 183


44. 3 ways to solve an absolute value inequality






45. The difference between the least and greatest values in a set of numbers.






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






47. Anything that may be increased or diminished






48. Always check the solutions you get in the original equation! Squaring both sides can actually introduce and extraneous solution.






49. 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






50. 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.
