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. 25/100 = .25 = 25%






2. .3 = .30 = 30%






3. 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






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






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






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






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






8. Is less than






9. Square roots of nonperfect squares can be approximated.






10. 9 square feet






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






12. 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.






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






14. 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






15. 1/30 ounce






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






17. 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






18. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






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






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






21. 4 pecks






22. 12 inches






23. 144 square inches






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






27. Addition - Subtraction - Multiplication - Division






28. 1.1 quarts






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






30. 1.00 = 100%






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






32. 2/10 = .2 = .20 = 20%






33. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






34. Is greater than






35. 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






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






37. 3.5 = 3.50 = 350%






38. .01 = 1%






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






40. 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






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






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






43. The square of a whole number






44. .33 1/3 = 33 1/3%






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






46. Is approximately equal to






47. Positive numbers and negative numbers






48. 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






49. 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.






50. 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.
