This lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to solve typical linear word problems (story problems or applied problems). I show you how to solve for a specific variable in formulas. I also discuss how to covert a repeating decimal into a fraction (which was skipped in Basic Math: Lesson 6 -"Fractions"). I also show you how to convert units of measurement. Examples of word problems done include: Finding a number based on certain criteria. Word problems involving some geometry (triangle, rectangle, circle). Age problems. Mixture problems. Money problems (story of my life!). Rate-Time-Distance problems. Percent Equations/problems. Ratio and Proportion (concepts and solving problems, including similar triangles). Problems dealing with Unit Price. SAMPLE VIDEO COMING SOON!

Teachers: Feel free to print this document to display in your
classroom when doing additional word problems:
