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. The ratio of integers that results in a terminating decimal






2. A polygon that has four sides.






3. 0.625 --> Fraction ?






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






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






6. A parallelogram with all sides equal and congruent






7. Is a part which - being repeated a number of times - becomes equal to the whole; as 4 is of the numbers 8 and 12.






8. What is the formula for: The Area of a Triangle ?






9. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






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






11. Change + - Original = New






12. The sum of a group of numbers divided by the number of numbers; also known as the average






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






14. Any number multiplied to form a product. A product can be divided by one factor to find the other factor.






15. The Only possible factors for a prime number are






16. Surface space that is measured in square units.






17. If there are 3 Even integers in a set of integers being multiplied together - what is the result divisible by (in terms of power/base)? e.g. 2 x 5 x 6 x 10 = 600 E x O x E x E = div. by 23






18. 5/8 --> Decimal ?






19. 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.






20. Step 1: Add the absolute values of the addends Step 2. Give the result the sign that is common to the addends






21. Every lesser homogeneous number is contained in a greater either as an aliquot or an aliquant part.






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






23. The nearer any lesser number approaches a greater number - the less often will it be contained in that greater number.






24. Factors may be multiplied in any order.






25. A ratio that shows the cost per unit of measure






26. A value such as 5^2 can be called

27. A drawing of an object that is different in size (usually smaller than the original) but keeps the same proportions






28. Odd x ? = Even






29. Is equal to the original value. a x 1 = 1






30. Step 1: Divide the denominator into the numerator. Use ordinary whole-number division that produces a quotient and a remainder. Step 2: Assemble the mixed number. The whole-number part of the mixed number is the whole-number part of the quotient from






31. The figure formed when two rays meet at a common endpoint called a vertex.






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






33. That which is referred to Unity as a Part to a Whole as - 1 half - 2 thirds - 1 third - 3 fourths - etc..






34. The whole is more or greater than its part.






35. The likelihood that an event will occur. The probability that an event will occur is 0 - 1 - or somewhere between 0 and 1.






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






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






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






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






40. A number with only two factors: the number itself and one.






41. The absolute value of numbers is indicated by






42. The whole-number system uses only ten characters -0 through 9.






43. A mirror image of a figure shown over a line of reflection






44. The point of intersection for two sides of a plane figure - three sides of a solid figure - or the endpoints of two rays that form an angle.






45. Breaking down a composite number until all of the factors are prime






46. A length that is half the diameter of a circle; the distance from the center of the circle to the circle itself.






47. 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






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






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






50. 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 intege
