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. A number that is not a prime number is called a






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






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






4. Quantities which are both equal to one and the same third are equal to one another.






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






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

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






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






10. Are located to the right of the zero on the integer number line. Positive integers are sometimes indicated with a positive sign ( + ). More often - however - we omit the positive sign. So when you see an integer value that does not have a sign - you






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






12. Area of a Rhombus is?






13. A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign






14. Switch to a number-picking strategy






15. Two angles whose sum equals 90 degrees.






16. Method: convert Decimal to Percent?






17. 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.






18. The terms Species and Number






19. Odd x Odd = ? e.g. 3 x 3 = 9 e.g. 5 x 11 = 55 e.g. 9 x 3 = 27






20. The inverse of a fraction; when multiplied by the original fraction - it results in a product that equals one






21. Use to estimate or compare quantities - the implied denominator is 100 so you can easily compare percents (of the same whole) to each other.






22. An angle that measures 180 degrees






23. By the first letters of the alphabet (a - b - c - d - etc..)






24. When Multiplying integers - if Any integer is even - what is the result - (odd/even)?






25. Change + - Original = New






26. Is a part which - being repeated a number of times - always exceeds or falls short of the whole - as 5 is of the numbers 8 and 12.






27. A known quantity we refer to as One.






28. What are the rules for picking numbers in VICS?






29. Pick a value for all but one of the variables and then solve for the value of the remaining variable. Then - plug the numbers we've selected into the original expression to get the Target value - and TEST Each Answer CHOICE.






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






31. The largest integer that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator.






32. Odd / Even = ? e.g. 9/6 = 1.5






33. Odd x ? = Even






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






35. Multiply the numerator of a positive - proper fraction by 1/2 Explain why this is true: True because: When you square a variable x - the result is positive - no matter what the sign of the base.Remember - even exponents hide the sign of the base. The






36. Why are Even Exponents dangerous?






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