CLEP General Mathematics: Fractions And Mixed Numbers

Subjects : clep, math
Instructions:
  • Answer 20 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 distance around an object - - whole outer boundary or measurement of a surface or figure






2. If a - b - and c are any numbers - then a/b = ac/bc if b doesn't = 0 and c doesn't = 0 And a/b =a/c/b/c if b doesn't = 0 and c doesn't = 0






3. The area A of a rectangle is found by multiplying its length L by its width W - The area of a rectangle is the product of its base and height






4. The smallest number that is a multiple of all the denominators -






5. The dividend of a fraction - the part of a fraction above the line - which tells how many parts are being counted. - the top number in a fraction






6. The order of operations is P (calculations inside parentheses) E (exponential expressions) M (multiplications) D (divisions) A (additions) S (subtractions)






7. Involves 'undoing' what has been done to the equation. By systematically working backward - the value of the variable can be found - The process of applying algebraic properties of equality to isolate a variable. For example - to solve 2x = 6 - we ap






8. A fraction is reduced to lowest terms when there are no common factors (except 1) in the numerator and denominator - To reduce a fraction to lowest terms - you have to find a common factor that both the numerator and denominator go into - the smalles






9. A/b + c/b = a+c / b - Two fractions with the same denominator can be added or subtracted by performing the required operation with the numerators - leaving the denominators the same. For example - -and . If two fractions do not have the same denomin






10. A/b / c/d = a/b x d/c - To divide a/b by c/d multiply by the reciprocal of c/d. - multiply by reciprocal of divisor - invert the second fraction and then multiply the fraction. - 1. do the reciprical of the second fraction 2. reduce if possible 3. m






11. Equations that have the same solution - equations with the same solutions as the original equation.






12. A/b x c/d = a x c / b x d






13. The LCM of two natural numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of both numbers - the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by every member of a set of numbers - 1) prime factorization 2) bubble map: put common factors in the middle -






14. The reciprocal of a/b is b/a.






15. The divisor of a fraction - the bottom number in a fraction - the part of a fraction below the line - which tells how many equal parts there are in the whole or in the group.






16. Two fractions are equivalent if they are names for the same number. (They have the same value.) - Fractions that name the same amount - fractions that have different numerators and denominators - but have the same value






17. A fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator - a fraction with a numerator smaller than the denominator - a fraction that has a numerator less than the denominator.






18. A fraction whose numerator is greater than or equal to its denominator - a fraction whose numerator is larger than the denominator - A fraction with a numerator that is larger than or equal to its denominator.






19. The sum of a whole number and a proper fraction - a whole number and a fractional part - A value that combines a whole number and a fractional amount






20. A/b - c/b = a-c / b
