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 result of dividing one number by another; the solution to a division problem






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






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






4. Multiplying several Even integers together results in higher and higher powers of ...? Because each even number will contribute at LEAST one 2 to the factors of the product






5. Odd / Odd = ? e.g. 15/5 = 3 e.g. 15/25 = 0.6






6. 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






7. An equation stating that two ratios are equal






8. When will a decimal Not terminate and why?






9. The total of two or more numbers being added






10. Even / Even = ? e.g. 12/2 = 6 e.g. 12/4 = 3 e.g. 12/8 = 1.5






11. Having the same size and shape






12. The horizontal number line of a coordinate graph






13. 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






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






15. The numerator of the fraction part of the mixed number is the remainder from the






16. A self-evident statement - that is - one that does not need to be demonstrated.






17. One of those primes must be the number __ ?






18. Every number is contained in itself once.






19. Figures that have the same shape but different sizes; their sides are proportional - while their corresponding angles are equal






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






21. The four Mathematical arts are:






22. When Multiplying integers - if No integer is even - what is the result - (odd/even)?






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






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






25. The number being multiplied is called the






26. What rule is essential to follow when solving ABSOLUTE VALUE EQUATIONS?






27. This is an addition problem. Although the addends both have negative values - you still add their absolute values.






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






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






30. 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






31. A quadrilateral with two pairs of congruent - parallel sides






32. The greater any number is in comparison to another - the more equal parts will it contain of that other.






33. Total Earnings ($) = ?






34. 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.






35. Operations enclosed in a sign of grouping






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






37. Method: convert Percent to Decimal?






38. Set the denominator of the improper fraction equal to the denominator of the fraction in the mixed number






39. The number to be multiplied by is called the






40. 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.






41. The formula for the Area of a Rhombus is?






42. .625 --> Percent?






43. By the last letters (u - x - y - etc.)






44. Find the largest number of times the divisor will divide into the dividend. This is the quotient. To determine the remainder - multiply the quotient by the divisor - then subtract the result from the dividend.






45. Trading decimal places refers to moving the decimals in the opposite direction the same number of places - when multiplying a very large number and a very small number.






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






47. Units that are understood under the same notion - such as a pound of stones and a pound of feathers - or an inch of string and an inch of wood.
