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. Even X Even = ? ... and is div. by ?






2. Always perform the operations






3. When the product in the 1's column is greater than 9


4. Begins with zero and counts upward through tens - hundreds - thousands - millions - and so on. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - ... The scale on the number line begins with zero and runs to the right ('from zero to infinity').






5. A value such as 6^3 can described as


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






7. Step 1: Find any integer greater than 1 that can be divided evenly into both the numerator and denominator. Step 2: Divide the numerator and denominator by the integer from Step 1. Repeat Steps until the fraction is completely reduced.






8. A quantity that is whole and continuous - as a field - a circle - the universe - and so on. It is also called a 'Continued Quantity'.






9. Reducing fractions is






10. 0 to any power is equal to






11. The exact procedure for adding signed integers depends upon






12. A comparison of the two values of two numbers






13. An eight-sided polygon






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






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






16. What is the result of Adding 2 Odds or 2 Evens? e.g. 7 + 11 = 18 e.g. 8 + 6 = 14






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






18. The absolute value of numbers is indicated by






19. Every lesser number is contained in a greater more than once.






20. Unit Profit = ?






21. Two numbers are said to be equal (=) when they are at






22. A whole number that has only one set of factors - itself and 1.






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






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






25. Of two Unequal Magnitudes - one that has a part Equal in Magnitude with the Whole of the other Magnitude.






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






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






28. To make a fraction easier to work with by taking out common factors. In an expression - combining variables that have like unknowns.






29. Cross-multiply






30. An angle measuring more than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees






31. The amount that remains after one number has been subtracted from another






32. 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 integ






33. What is the result of Adding or Subtracting and Odd with an Even (or an Even with an Odd)? e.g. 7 + 8 = 15 e.g. 13 - 2 = 11






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






35. What is the formula forCounting consecutive integers?






36. 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.






37. Has no sign value






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






39. A line segment that passes through the center of a circle and has its endpoints on the circle. It describes how wide the circle is.






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






41. The study of quantity






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






43. The number being multiplied is called the






44. No integer (except 1) that divides evenly into both the numerator and denominator.






45. A value that combines a whole number and a fractional amount
