What are the steps in solving word problem about multiplication and division?

Answer 1

Step #1:

Assign letters or symbols to the quantities in the word problem,

especially to the quantity that you have to find.

Step #2:

Using the letters or symbols you have chosen, write the algebraic equation

that makes the same statement that the word problem does.

Step #3:

In the algebraic equation, plug in the numbers you're given for any of the

quantities for which you're given numbers.

Step #4:

Solve the algebraic equation. That is, find the value of the quantity that the

word problem asks you to find.

Note:

This method works for word problems about addition and subtraction too.
