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. Unit Profit = ?






2. The value on the y-axis used to locate a point on the coordinate graph. It is the second value in an ordered pair.






3. 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.






4. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






5. An eight-sided polygon






6. Step 1: Find any integer greater than 1 that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator. Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the integer from Step 1. Repeat Steps until the fraction is completely reduced.






7. A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign






8. What are the only prime factors that a fraction resulting in a terminating decimals have?






9. Operations that do the exact opposite of each other; they undo each other (addition and subtraction - for example)






10. Signs of grouping may be nested






11. A parallelogram with all sides equal and congruent






12. The two kinds of Quantity are






13. To indicate the addition operation- to indicate a positive integer value






14. 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.






15. 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.






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






17. Two or more fractions that have the same denominator






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






19. A terminating decimal only arises as a result of an integer _____________. i.e. the denominator should only have prime factors of 2 and/or 5






20. A polygon that has four sides.






21. The result of muliplying two or more numbers






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






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






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






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. Figures that have the same shape but different sizes; their sides are proportional - while their corresponding angles are equal






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






28. 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






29. The Sum of n consecutive integers is divisible by n if n is






30. Any number with an exponent of 0






31. Zero divided by any whole number (except 0)






32. What is the formula forCounting consecutive multiples?






33. The whole is equal to all of its parts taken together.






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






35. 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






36. Part of the population that is studied to find the characteristics of the whole population.






37. Two numbers listed in a specific order; it describes a point on the coordinate graph






38. An angle that measures 90 degrees






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






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






41. Is the disagreement of things in Quantity.






42. 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.






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






44. In a division problem - the number that an amount is divided by






45. An angle measuring more than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees






46. A number with an exponent of 3 is often said to be






47. Having the same size and shape






48. The distance around a circle (the perimeter of a circle)






49. A triangle that has three equal sides and three equal angles






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