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. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






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






3. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






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






5. 2.00 = 200%






6. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






7. Change to an improper fraction and multiply; then change the answer - if in improper form - back to a mixed number and reduce if necessary.






8. Is parallel to






9. Sum - plus - is increased by - more than (example: 3 more than 7 is what?)






10. Milli = 1/1000 centi = 1/100 deci = 1/10 basic unit (meter - liter - gram) = 1 deca = 10 hecto = 100 kilo = 1000






11. ...-3 - -2 - -1 - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3... all the whole numbers together with their opposites






12. .9 = .90 = 90%






13. 0. Any number added to 0 gives that number






14. .33 1/3 = 33 1/3%






15. Mnemonic: Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally 1. Parentheses 2. Exponents 3. Multiplication or division 4. Addition or subtraction (left to right)






16. Divide the percent by 100 - Eliminate the percent sign - Reduce if necessary






17. Is greater than or equal to






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






19. All the rational and irrational numbers






20. Is equal to






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






22. About 2.2 pounds






23. When the place value name ends with a 'ths -' it is an indication of being a fraction.






24. To square a number - multiply it by itself






25. Numbers to the right of 0 are positive - Numbers to the left of 0 are negative - Given any two numbers on a number line - the one on the right is always larger - regardless of its sign (positive or negative)






26. To round off any number: Underline the place value to which you're rounding off - Look to the immediate right (one place) of your underlined place value - Identify the number (the one to the right). If it is 5 or higher - round your underlined place






27. All values that can be expressed in the form a/b - where a and b are integers and b ? 0 - Or - when expressed in decimal form - the expression either terminates or has a repeating pattern






28. .3 = .30 = 30%






29. Is not equal to






30. The order in which addition or multiplication is done does not affect the answer

35. 3 feet 36 inches






36. 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.






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

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






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






45. 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.






46. A value that - when added to another number or multiplied with another number - does not change the value of that number






47. 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






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