Minus
- A.
Add
- B.
Subtract
- C.
Divide
Correct Answer
B. SubtractExplanation
The word "subtract" is the correct answer because it is the only word that directly relates to the given word "minus". "Subtract" is a mathematical operation that involves taking away one quantity from another, which is similar to the concept of "minus" where one number is being reduced or deducted from another. The other three words, "add", "divide", and "multiply", do not have a direct correlation to "minus" and involve different mathematical operations.Rate this question:

Product
- A.
Add
- B.
Subtract
- C.
Multiply
Correct Answer
C. MultiplyExplanation
The correct answer is "multiply" because when we talk about a "product," it refers to the result of multiplying two or more numbers together. In this context, "add" and "subtract" are not relevant as they involve combining or taking away quantities, whereas "multiply" specifically refers to the operation of finding the product.Rate this question:

Difference
- A.
Add
- B.
Subtract
- C.
Divide
Correct Answer
B. SubtractExplanation
The given answer is "subtract" because the word "difference" suggests finding the result of subtracting one quantity from another. When we calculate the difference between two numbers, we are essentially subtracting one number from the other to determine the gap or distance between them. Therefore, subtracting is the correct operation to perform when finding the difference.Rate this question:
