Here is supplementary material on application problems:
- Interest (and Multiple Investment) Problems:
- PurpleMath has a page about
"Investment" Problems.
The first two are straightforward, but the ones you really need to focus on are after that.
They involve multiple investments. Read the problems and try to work them out on your own
before reading through the way they did them. Then compare your work to their work.
- Here is another example from the MathForum
- Mixture Problems: Go to this PurpleMath page on Mixture problems.
Read the example problems (tickets and acid solution) and try to work them out on your own.
Then compare your work to their work. Try some of the other practice problems too.
- Uniform Motion Problems:
- In this PurpleMath page on
Distance Problems in general, there are several
general distance problems, but the 6th (A boat travels for threehours with a current ...)
and 7th (With the wind, an airplane travels ... ) examples have to do with Uniform Motion,
so, depending on your level of experience with distance problems, you may want to work
some of these but in particular, you should do the ones on the boat with and against
the current and the airplane with and against the wind.
- Here is another example from the MathForum.
Scroll way down to where "Karen can row a boat..."
- Constant Rate Job Problems:
