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.

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






19. The inverse of a fraction; when multiplied by the original fraction - it results in a product that equals one






20. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






21. An eight-sided polygon






22. The Only possible factors for a prime number are






23. To find the units digit of a product - or a sum of integers - Only pay attention to the units digit of the numbers you're working with. Drop any other digits. This shortcut works because only units digits contribute to the units digit of the product.

45. 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.






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






47. The distance around a figure.






48. Adding integers that have the same sign means






49. Step 1: Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator. This becomes the numerator of the improper fraction. Step 2: Set the denominator of the improper fraction equal to the denominator of the fraction in the mixed number.






50. 1 to any power is equal to
