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. 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.

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






20. A quantity consisting of disconnected parts - as three stones or seven coins. It may be also called a 'Discontinued Quantity'.






21. A triangle with one right angle






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






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