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






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






3. If either numerator or denominator consists of several numbers - these numbers must be combined into one number - then reduce if necessary






4. 12 inches






5. 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






6. 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






7. 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.






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






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






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






11. Is less than or equal to






12. Any value that exists but is not rational






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






14. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






15. 1.1 quarts






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






17. About 2.2 pounds






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






19. 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -... the natural numbers together with 0






20. The square of a whole number






21. About 0.6 mile






22. 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.






23. Multiply by 100 - Insert a percent sign






24. The results of taking integers and raising them to the 2nd power (squaring them) The first seven positive ___________ are 1 - 4 - 9 - 16 - 25 - 36 - and 49






25. To square a number - multiply it by itself






26. 4 quarts






27. 16 ounces






28. 75/100 = .75 = 75%






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. 25/100 = .25 = 25%






31. .625 = .62 1/2 = 62 1/2%






32. The numbers must be combined under the radical before any computation of square roots may be done






33. A fraction whose numerator is smaller than its denominator; has a value less than 1.






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






35. 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






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






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






38. .875 = .87 1/2 = 87 1/2%






39. Change the percent to a fraction or decimal and multiply






40. 1.1 yards






41. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






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






43. 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.






44. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%

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






47. Is not equal to






48. 2 cups






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