Identifying Key Words Today, you are going to learn one strategy to understanding word problems. Let’s take a look at our Key Words for Solving Word Problems handouts. In the next slides you will be given phrases from word problems. Using your Key Words handout determine the mathematical operation. Your teacher will call on you for the correct answer. You must give the key word and tell the mathematical operation.

You have 5 minutes to copy the notes. Craig’s mother works at a soda company just 5 miles from their house. She said that every 8 minutes, a machine fills 150 bottles. How many minutes does it take to fill 675 bottles? P= Our key word is every, and our question is How many minutes does it take to fill 675 bottles? A= 8 minutes per 150 bottles and ? Minutes per 675 bottles. We need to set up a ratio to solve this problem. We are comparing two quantities. Is the 5 miles important in this word problem?

You have 5 minutes to copy the notes. W= We need to set up the problem like this: 8 minutes . _X_minutes (We put X here since we don’t know the total minutes) 150 bottles 675 bottles S= Solve it Let’s cross multiply 8 X 675 = 5400 150 x X= 150x How do we get X by itself? X = 36 minutes

Let’s Go!
