Best word: definition or enunciate?

Suppose a math problem like this:



A car travels one hour at 100 miles per hour. What is the travelled distance?



Suppose I am later talking about the problem.



In Portuguese I can say "De acordo com o enunciado do problema" that would translate to "According to the problem __________"



The word here is "enunciado" in Portuguese which can be directly translated to "enunciate".



Is it correct to say "according to the problem enunciate" or is the better to say... "according to the problem definition"...
?

  • Enunciado cannot be directly translated to "enunciate". Enunciar can. But you wouldn't say "De acordo com o enunciar do problema" in Portuguese, would you.

There are many common ways to phrase this. Words like phrasing, statement, wording, or definition would work, but enunciation would be a little odd unless referring to a speaker's unique verbal delivery. You could even just say "According to the problem, ..."
