Three sailors were marooned on a deserted island that was also inhabited by a band of monkeys. The sailors worked all day to col

lect coconuts but were too tired that night to count them, They agreed to divide them equally the next morning. During the night, one sailor woke up and decided to take his share. He found that he could make three equal piles, with one coconut left over, which he threw to the monkeys. Thereupon, he put his own share in a pile down the beach, and left the remainder in a single pile near where they all slept. Later that night, the second sailor awoke and, likewise, decided to take his share of coconuts. He also was able to make three equal piles, with one coconut left over, which he threw to the monkeys. Somewhat later, the third sailor awoke and did exactly the same thing with the remaining coconuts. In the morning, all three sailors noticed that the pile was considerably smaller, but each thought that he knew why and said nothing. When they then divided what was left of the original pile of coconuts equally, each sailor received seven and one was left over, which they threw to the monkeys. How many coconuts were in the original pile

Joe and Susan were arguing about how
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The correct number of basic operations that exist in mathematics is four (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) because the definition of an operation is the carrying out of a task by the application of principles and these four operation are arithmetic operations that have precedence rules or order of operations, such that we must first multiply or divide before adding or subtracting

Division is different from simply multiplying by a fraction because in Euclidean division, the result is a quotient and a remainder, which shows that division can yield more than one result while multiplication yields a single result

For subtraction and addition, one of the differences is that subtraction cannot be simply commuted

a - b = -(b - a)

Subtraction is non-associative;

a - b - c when arranged as (a - b) - c and a - (b - c), can yield different results depending on operation order which is unlike addition

Therefore, the four basic operations in mathematics are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
