In the sentence '152 is the product of eight and Diego's age', what does the word 'product' indicate?

• Division

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Addition

If Diego's age is represented by D, how would you write '8 times Diego's age'?

• 8 + D

• 8 - D

• 8 / D

• 8 * D

What is the equation for '152 is the product of eight and Diego's age'?

• 152 = 8 + D

• 152 = 8 - D

• 152 = 8 / D

• 152 = 8 * D

In the sentence 'The difference of Goren's age and 24 is 54', what does the word 'difference' indicate?

• Division

• Multiplication

• Subtraction

• Addition

If Goren's age is represented by G, how would you write 'Goren's age minus 24'?

• G * 24

• G + 24

• G / 24

• G - 24

What is the equation for 'The difference of Goren's age and 24 is 54'?

• G + 24 = 54

• G - 24 = 54

• G / 24 = 54

• G * 24 = 54

Which variable is used to represent Goren's age?

• A

• M

• D

• G
