CSET Multiple Subjects Subtest 2a Domain 1: Math

Subjects : cset, 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. First change all the denominators to their least common multiple (LCM) - which in fractions is known as the least common denominator (LCD). This value is the least positive value that all the denominators will divide into without a remainder.






2. The same as dividing other numbers - except that if the divisor (the number you're dividing by) has a decimal - move it to the right as many places as necessary until it is a whole number - Move the decimal point in the dividend (the number being div






3. 1.1 yards






4. When a value is expressed using a whole number together with a common fraction






5. A + (b + c) = (a + b) + c Note: Subtraction does not have the associative property.






6. The grouping - without changing the order - does not affect the answer






7. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






8. A(bc) = (ab)c Note: Division does not have the associative property.






9. A number in scientific notation is written as a rational number from 1 to 9 - and then multiplied by a power of 10






10. 1.1 quarts






11. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






12. 1/30 ounce






13. (change/starting point) x 100 = percentage change






14. .83 1/3 = 83 1/3%






15. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






16. .125 = .12 1/2= 12 1/2%






17. 2 pints






18. Eliminate the percent sign - Move the decimal point two places to the left (sometimes adding zeros will be necessary)






19. 12 inches






20. 1. Any number multiplied by 1 gives that number.






21. Difference - minus - is decreased by - less than (example: 3 less than 7 is what?)






22. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






23. Multiplication outside parentheses distributing over either addition or subtraction inside parentheses does not affect the answer a(b + c) = ab + ac a(b - c) = ab - ac






24. A + b = b + a Note: Subtraction does not have the communicative property.






25. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






26. Multiply the numerators - multiply the denominators - and reduce to lowest terms if possible






27. 3 feet 36 inches






28. Length (in. - ft. - yd - mi.) - Area (sq. in. - sq. ft. - sq. yd. - acre - sq. mi.) - Weight (oz. - lb. - T) - Capacity (cups - pt. - qt. - gal. - pecks - bushels) - Time (seconds - minutes - hours - days - weeks - months - years - decades - centurie






29. Move the decimal point two places to the right - Insert a percent sign






30. 1.00 = 100%






31. You may have to borrow from the whole number - just like you sometimes borrow from the next column when subtracting ordinary numbers. To subtract a mixed number from a whole number - you have to borrow from the whole number.






32. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






33. 16 ounces






34. 1000 kilograms






35. The product or quotient of two numbers with the same sign will produce a positive answer - The product or quotient of two numbers with the opposite signs will produce a negative answer






36. The multiplicative inverse of a number (also known as the reciprocal of the number) is a value that - when multiplied with any non -zero number - equals 1. Any non -zero number multiplied with its multiplicative inverse equals 1. The multiplicative i






37. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






38. Subtract = add the opposite; change the sign of the number being subtracted - and then proceed as an addition problem






39. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






40. Find a number that divides evenly into one numerator and one denominator. Reducing early only applies to multiplying fractions - not adding or subtracting.






41. .01 = 1%






42. Any exponent means to multiply by itself that many times






43. 2 cups






44. 144 square inches






45. Communicative property - Associative property - Distributive property






46. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






47. To find the square root of a number - you want to find some number that when multiplied by itself gives you the original number






48. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






49. Consist of two numbers separated by a bar which indicates division: the numerator is above the bar and the denominator is below the bar. Denominator: Tells you into how many equal parts something has been divided. Numerator: Tells you how many of tho






50. The additive inverse of a number (also known as the opposite of the number) is a value that - when added to any number - equals 0. Any number added to its additive inverse equals 0.
