[NOTE: This video is only a 12 minute portion of the full 3 hour
lesson. Please visit my website to purchase complete version] This
lesson consists of providing you with a Self-Tutorial on how to
solve typical linear word problems (story problems or applied
problems). The tutor shows you how to solve for a specific variable
in formulas. He also discusses how to covert a repeating decimal
into a fraction (which was skipped in Basic Math: Lesson 6
-"Fractions") and will teach 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.
