RE: How to solve work word problems faster
There's a short way and a long way around the barn! As a young engineering student a million years ago, I would quickly hand in my assignments with the correct answers. The professor would be furious because of the "show your work" requirement and mine had incoherent scribbles.
Just don't ask me to sing or dance. ;)
I can never understand this properly. I teach them the correct way but honestly I just care about the answer. It works this way in real life so what makes a test different? Thanks for your comment!
My pleasure. There is value in knowing how the equation functions just as much as knowing how a word is spelled or the proper construction of a sentence. Practical application in the real world often omits the sticky innards and jumps to the conclusion. How a machine operates is irrelevant until it breaks. Thank you for always being a good steward of the community! Steem the Dream!
