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. 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






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






3. 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 -






4. 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






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. 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.






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






8. 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






9. The distance around an object - - whole outer boundary or measurement of a surface or figure






10. 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.






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






12. 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






13. 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






14. 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






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






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






18. 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






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