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. 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.






2. The exact procedure for adding signed integers depends upon






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






4. Total Sales or Revenue = ?






5. A mathematical sentence that uses an equal sign






6. Rules that tell which steps to follow when solving an expression






7. 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

17. Is a term used to express quantity indefinitely and universally - such as 'a certain number' - 'some' etc...






18. An evenly-spaced set is fully-defined if what is known...?






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






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






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






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






23. Of two Unequal Multitudes - one that has a part equal in Multitude with the Whole of the other Multitude.

29. The absolute value of the numerator is smaller than the absolute value of the denominator.






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






31. 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
