Here are the operations for each statement:
-
"One third of a number is twelve." - Multiplication (Mathematically, this can be expressed as \(\frac{1}{3} x = 12\) which implies \(x = 12 \times 3\)).
-
"Seven less than a number is sixteen." - Subtraction (This can be expressed as \(x - 7 = 16\)).
-
"The sum of a number and two is eleven." - Addition (This can be expressed as \(x + 2 = 11\)).
-
"The quotient of a number and three is eight." - Division (This can be expressed as \(\frac{x}{3} = 8\)).
So, the operations are:
- Multiplication
- Subtraction
- Addition
- Division
