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. 2 pints






2. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






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






4. A fraction whose numerator is the same or more than the denominator; has a value equal to 1 or more than 1.






5. Numbers to the left of the decimal point are whole numbers; numbers to the right of the decimal point are fractions with denominators of only 10 - 100 - 1000 - 10000 - etc.






6. Find the LCD and subtract the numerators.






7. 4 quarts






8. 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.






9. To square a number - multiply it by itself






10. 1760 yards 5280 feet






11. Kilometer (km) = 1000 meters hectometer (hm) = 100 meters decameter (dam) = 10 meters meter (m) = 1 meter decimeter (dm) = 0.1 meter centimeter (cm) = 0.01 meter millimeter (mm) = 0.001 meter






12. 9 square feet






13. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






14. Read it - Write it - Reduce it






15. Divide the denominator into the numerator






16. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






17. 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.






18. .3 = .30 = 30%






19. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






20. Kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams hectogram (hg) = 100 grams decagram (dag) = 10 grams gram (g) = 1 gram decigram (dg) = 0.1 gram centigram (cg) = 0.01 gram milligram (mg) = 0.001 gram






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






22. Invert (turn upside down) the second fraction and multiply; reduce if necessary.






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






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






25. Any value that exists but is not rational






26. Is approximately equal to






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






28. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






29. 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






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






31. 4 pecks






32. 8/10 = .8 = .80 = 80%






33. Is perpendicular to






34. 12 inches






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






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






37. For 'what -' substitute the letter x - For 'is -' substitute an equal sign - For 'of -' substitute a multiplication sign - Change percents to decimals or fractions and solve the equation






38. 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.






39. .01 = 1%






40. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






41. About 0.6 mile






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






43. Is greater than or equal to






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






45. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






46. Is parallel to






47. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






48. A natural number greater than 1 that only has 1 and itself as divisors (an alternate definition is a natural number that has exactly two different divisors) - The first seven ________ are 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 11 - 13 - and 17






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






50. Find the LCD and add the whole numbers to get your final answer.
