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.

7. A solid figure that has two congruent - parallel polygons as its bases. Its sides are parallelograms






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

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






11. What are the 3 main formulaic properties of evenly-spaced sets?






12. Squaring a positive proper fraction/percent Increases/Decreases the value? e.g. 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16






13. The part of a fraction that stands for how many parts of a whole or group are included in the fraction.






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






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






16. 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






17. The number to be multiplied by is called the






18. Is the opposite of raising fractions to higher terms.






19. Three or more line segments in a plane that forms a closed figure. The line segments never cross but meet at their endpoints.

24. 1.) Average the first and last term to find the median of the set (which equals the average) = (100 + 20)/2 = 60 2) Count the number of terms ( 100 - 20 + 1 = 81) 3. Sum = Ave. x Number of terms = 60 x 81 = 4860 Answer = 4860






25. The two kinds of Quantity are






26. Two or more fractions that have the same denominator






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






28. Indicates the number of times the base is to be multiplied






29. x and y are primes...What values (Odd/Even) must x and y be forx + y = Odd? 2






30. 3/2 - 8/3 - -16/5 - 7/7






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






32. Having the same size and shape






33. 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.






34. Things are Equal in Magnitude when they are






35. .625 --> Percent?






36. 5/8 --> Decimal ?






37. A solid figure with two congruent and parallel circular bases

40. When a denominator of a fraction is 9 - 99 - 999 or another power of 10 minus 1 - what's an easy way of determining the REPEATING DIGITS of the decimal equivalent of the fraction?






41. An angle that measures 180 degrees






42. A whole number can be expressed as an improper fraction by






43. All whole numbers (both positive and negative) and zero.






44. If 2 numbers are OPPOSITES of each other






45. Includes an integer as well as a fractional part






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






47. Is ZERO positive or negative - both - or none?






48. A positive whole number with more than two factors. In other words - a number that is not prime. Zero and one are neither composite nor prime.
