This video focuses on three word problems involving measurements, percentages, and expenditures. Sal shows how to translate word problems into solvable equations.

In this video, Sal solves a word problem sent in by a listener with two cyclists riding towards each other over a given time. It is an interesting problem regarding ratios and the relationship between distance, rate, and time. He shows...

For most people, solving word problems takes a lot of work. But Sal makes it look simple! Follow along as he unpacks this complicated word problem. He even demonstrates how to answer. Excellent!

A few word problems involving age are presented. Starting with a simple problem and progressing to more complicated word problems, Sal uses a chart to organize the information given in the more complicated problem to solve for the variable.

Here are some more age word problems. The instructor uses a chart again to organize the information given. He works through the problem but ends the video with a solution that appears erroneous but is correct. The answer seems too large...
