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






2. Line up the decimal points and then add or subtract in the same manner you would add or subtract regular numbers - Adding in zeros can make the problem easier to work with - Whole numbers can have decimal points to their right






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






4. All the rational and irrational numbers






5. 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






6. 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






7. 6/10 = .6 = .60 = 60%






8. Divide the denominator into the numerator






9. When adding two numbers with the same sign (either both positive or both negative) - add the pure number portions (absolute values) and keep the sign that is on the numbers






10. Is approximately equal to






11. 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






12. Communicative property - Associative property - Distributive property






13. 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






14. Is greater than or equal to






15. 9 square feet






16. Used as grouping symbols






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






18. Kiloleter (kl or kL) = 1000 liters hectoliter (hl or hL) = 100 liters decaliter (dal or daL) = 10 liters liter (l or L) = 1 liter deciliter (dl or dL) = 0.1 liter centiliter (cl or cL) = 0.01 liter milliliter (ml or mL) = 0.001 liter






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






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






21. About 0.6 mile






22. 2000 pounds






23. .16 2/3 = 16 2/3%






24. .83 1/3 = 83 1/3%






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






26. 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






27. .375 = .37 1/2 = 37 1/2%






28. 5/10 = .5 = .50 = 50%






29. 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






30. 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.






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






32. Is not equal to






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






34. 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






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






36. .66 2/3 = .66 2/3 = 66 2/3%






37. 4 quarts






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






39. 2 pints






40. 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.






41. 2.00 = 200%






42. 4/10 = .4 = .40 = 40%






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






44. 1000 kilograms






45. 1.00 = 100%






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






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






48. 8/10 = .8 = .80 = 80%






49. Multiply the whole number by the denominator - add the numerator - and then place that value over the denominator






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