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.

14. No integer (except 1) that divides evenly into both the numerator and denominator.
It means that n is Odd. This is because the sum of n consecutive integers divided by n is the average/mean of that set of integers. Because the average is itself an integer - n can only be odd. This is because the average of an odd number of consecut
theorem
20% - because 5/4 = 125% and 4/5 = 80% (reciprocal of 5/4) - 80% of the new number is the old number - so you must reduce the new number by 20% to get this amount
