LENGTH X WIDTH

Area is surface measurement that has length and width or length and height but no
thickness.
Usually found by multiplying length by width or height. The answer is expressed in
square units.
Change both measurements to the same linear units before multiplying.
Example:
Area = length × width
A = 3” × 2”
A = 6 square inches
Example:
Volume = length × height × width
V = 3” × 2” × 2”
V = 12 cubic inches

Word problems
There are two steps to solving math word
problems:
• Translate the wording into a numeric equation
that combines smaller "expressions"
• Solve the equation!
N.A.A.R.S.O.
22
STRATEGIES FOR WORD PROBLEM
Word problems are a series of expressions that fits into
an equation
An equation is a combination of math expressions.
Suggestions:
Read the problem entirely
Get a feel for the whole problem
List information and the variables you identify
Attach units of measure to the variables (gallons, miles,
inches, etc.)
Define what answer you need,
as well as its units of measure
N.A.A.R.S.O.
23
Work in an organized manner
Working clearly will help you think clearly
Draw and label all graphs and pictures clearly
Note or explain each step of your process;
this will help you track variables and remember
their meanings
Look for the "key" words (above)
Certain words indicate certain mathematical
operations:
More vocabulary and key words:
"Per" means "divided by"
as "I drove 90 miles on three gallons of gas,
so I got 30 miles per gallon“
(Also 30 miles/gallon)
"a" sometimes means "divided by"
as in "When I tanked up,
I paid $3.90 for three gallons,
so the gas was 1.30 a gallon,
or $1.30/gallon
N.A.A.R.S.O.
25
"less than"
If you need to translate "1.5 less than x",
the temptation is to write "1.5 - x".
DON'T!
Put a "real world" situation in,
and you'll see how this is wrong:
"He makes $1.50 an hour less than me."
You do NOT figure his wage
by subtracting your wage from $1.50.
Instead,
you subtract $1.50 from your wage
"quotient/ratio of" constructions
If a problems says "the ratio of x and y",
it means
"x divided by y" or
x/y or
x÷y
"difference between/of" constructions
If the problem says
"the difference of x and y",
it means "x - y"

John has 800 dollars in his checking account. He received from his
job a check for 1,200 dollars and deposit the amount in his checking
account. How much money does he have in his checking after the
deposit?
Solution
The fact of receiving money from his job is a gain.
Therefore, we need to perform addition
adding 1200 and 800
Total amount in checking account
= 800 + 1200
= 2000 dollars
Peter sells ice cream for a living. On Monday his revenue was 150
dollars. On Tuesday, his revenue was 100 dollars. Finally, on
Wednesday, his revenue was 50 dollars. How much is Peter's
revenue so far?
Solution
Peter is experiencing a gain in revenue. Therefore, we use
addition.
adding 150, 50 and 100
Peter's revenue = 150 + 50 + 100 = 300 dollars
Eiffel Tower is about 1063 feet high. The Statue of Liberty along
with its foundation and pedestal is about 305 feet. If you could
put the Statue of Liberty on top of the Eiffel Tower, how high up
in heaven will the two monuments reach?
Solution
The situation above is a combination of parts to form a whole.
Therefore, we use addition.
Adding 1063 and 305

If You know that P = 100 W, and V = 6 V. you can rearrange the equation to solve
for I and substitute in the numbers.
I = P/V = 100 W / 6 V = 16.66 amps
What would happen if you use a 12-volt battery and a 12-volt light bulb to get 100 watts of power?
100 W / 12 V = 8.33 amps
Ohm’s law is expressed in three statements:
1.
2.
3.
If voltage is increased, current flow is increased.
If voltage is decreased, current flow is decreased.
If resistance is increased, current flow is decreased.
The formula can be written in three ways:
E = I×R
where:
E = voltage (electromotive force)
I = current in amperes (inductance)
R = resistance in ohms

Micrometer Reading
To read the English micrometer:
Step 1. Read the highest number showing on the barrel.
Step 2. Add 0.025” for each full vertical space showing.
Step 3. Add the number on the sleeve that lines up with the
horizontal line on the barrel.
The reading is the sum.
Example:
Caution: Do not read this space as full until the zero is lined up
with the horizontal line on the barrel.
To read this metric micrometer setting:
Step 1. Read the number of full divisions on the barrel. 10.00
Step 2. Add the 0.5-mm divisions
