Here are the operations for each statement:

  1. "One third of a number is twelve." - Multiplication (Mathematically, this can be expressed as \(\frac{1}{3} x = 12\) which implies \(x = 12 \times 3\)).

  2. "Seven less than a number is sixteen." - Subtraction (This can be expressed as \(x - 7 = 16\)).

  3. "The sum of a number and two is eleven." - Addition (This can be expressed as \(x + 2 = 11\)).

  4. "The quotient of a number and three is eight." - Division (This can be expressed as \(\frac{x}{3} = 8\)).

So, the operations are:

  1. Multiplication
  2. Subtraction
  3. Addition
  4. Division
