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. 1760 yards 5280 feet






2. .01 = 1%






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






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






5. .625 = .62 1/2 = 62 1/2%






6. 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.






7. 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the numbers you would naturally count by - 0 is not a natural number.






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






9. Fraction must be reduced to its lowest terms. This is done by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) for both the numerator and denominator and then dividing both the numerator and denominator by that value.






10. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






11. 144 square inches






12. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






13. Product - times - of - at (examples: 2/3 of 5 is what? 3 at 5 cents cost how much?)






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






15. All the rational and irrational numbers






16. 8/10 = .8 = .80 = 80%






17. .9 = .90 = 90%






18. Two numbers multiplied under a radical (square root) sign equal the product of the two square roots - and likewise with division.






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






20. 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






21. .7 = .70 = 70%






22. Is approximately equal to






23. The results of taking integers and raising them to the 3rd power (cubing them) The first seven positive ____________ are 1 - 8 - 27 - 64 - 125 - 216 - and 343






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






25. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






26. Multiply as usual - Count the total number of digits above the line which are to the right of all decimal points - Place your decimal point in your answer so there is the same number of digits to the right of it as there was above the line






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






28. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






29. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






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






31. .83 1/3 = 83 1/3%






32. Is perpendicular to






33. 25/100 = .25 = 25%






34. 2.00 = 200%






35. 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






36. Length (meter) - Volume (liter) - Weight (gram)






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






38. 1.1 quarts






39. 1.1 yards






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






41. A natural number greater than 1 that is not a prime number (an alternate definition is a natural number that has exactly two different divisors) The first seven ____________ are 4 - 6 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 12 - and 14






42. Is greater than or equal to






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






44. 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






45. Factor the number into two numbers - one (or more) of which is a perfect square - Take the square root of the perfect square(s) - Leave the others under the v






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






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