Is this another insanity thread like your other one ?
Marines are still posting on it for you.
Brain Teasers ?

No, Jimmy, I advised him to start a new thread here after mentioning it to me in a PM as an issue.

He's serious about it--looking for advice....the newer Marines will be able to help, I'm sure.

Oh. I don't even know what a math word problem is ?

I know what a math problem means and I know what a word problem means but together, I'm no help on this one.

[USMC 2571]

Me either---this is one for the young uns. That's for sure.

Q.) Well if Phantom Blooper had two apples....three plums....and a peach..... and Jimmy and Dave wanted one each...how many would be left over? A.) 6.....Fuzzy math...why? Because he tell ya' to go get your own.....Nanannana!

This definitely belongs over on that "insanity fitness" thread. LOL.

[Baker1971]

Hahahahaha. ROLMFAO

Anybody have tips on how to solve math word problems?

reading it comes to mind first, but how can anyone help if no one knows what kind of problem it is, is it time and distance, or elevation and drop rate problem, or what is the total resistance of a circuit in series, or what,,

Q.)

Well
IF Phantom Blooper m( ? )
had two apples....
three plums....
and a peach.....

and Jimmy and Dave wanted one each...
how many would be left over?

A.) 6.....
Fuzzy math...
why?

Because he tell ya' to go get your own.....

Nanannana!

Nanannana! ??? You didn't mention no stinking
nanna's.....

the real best answer to his question is to PRACTICE
doing what you will be tested about...

practice makes you faster, and better taking tests.

I had learned all of that in Aircraft Maintenance school, but 20 years later, and never having to use all that voltage drop, resistance and all that, all we do is use a fluke meter to measure tolerances according to maintenance manuals. What is 20 percent of 100? IS goes on the top OF goes on the bottom. So 20 over x equals 100 over 1. so 100x=20. Or 5. To check, multiply 5 times

If you want to talk electrical circuits, main potatoes is Ohms Law P=EIR. Power (which is measured in Watts) Equals Electomotive Force (Voltage) times Inductive Current (Measured in Amps) times Resistence which is measured in Ohms.
Resistence in a series circuit is R1+R2+R3=R4
Resistence in a parallel ciruit is 1 divided by 1 over the above. So 1 over 1 over R1+1 over R2+1 over R3 or something like this.

Had it mixed up. It's P=EIR not P=IER. Like I say, been a while.

Those are both excellent examples of word solving problems....However I would think if this kid is asking how to solve word problems or an easier way to solve them he should stick with apples and oranges to start. Maybe throw in a few bananas.....and Sally and Joey had a candy bar equations.
