Word Problems-Detailed Explanations of Reasoning and Solving Strategies: Volume 6 Answer Key

By Bill S. Lee

This is the answer key of Volume 6 of the entire set of 12 volumes of word problems solving strategies. If you want to set a solid foundation in math, grasping the techniques on solving word problems is the key to it. This set of books teaches you the techniques and strategies you need to solve word problems. Sample question in this volume:Mr. Coach spent a total of $240.00 for 6 soccer balls. If one basketball cost $ 13.00 more than one soccer, how much did he pay for 12 basketballs? Reasoning and solution:To find how much he paid for 12 basketballs, we need to first know how much one basketball cost. To know how much one basketball cost, we need to know how much one soccer ball cost first. 6 soccer balls cost $240.00. Each of the 6 soccer balls costs the same so we can use the 3 elements formulas to solve the problem: divide the number of soccer balls or the number of groups, 6, into the total amount, 240, to find the amount in one group or how much each soccer ball costs:240?6=$40.00Since one basketball cost $13 more than one soccer ball we add 13 to the cost of one soccer ball to find the cost of one basketball:13+40=$53.00One basketball costs $53.00 so 12 of them cost 12 groups of $53.00. Each basketball costs the same so we can use the 3 elements formulas to solve the problem: We multiply the number of groups, 12, and the amount in each group, 53, to find the total amount in all the groups or the total cost of 12 basketballs:12 x 53=$636.00The techniques on using the 3 elements formulas to find the total amount in all the groups, the number of groups, and the amount in each group are reviewed and reinforced in this volume. The volume also reinforces the techniques on using the multiplication and division equations to solve word problems. There is more in the volume than what is mentioned. Detailed explanations of the reasoning and solving strategies for each and every problem in Volume 6 are given in this book.
