Translating word problems to number problems

Abstract

One of the great challenges I have faced in a lifetime of teaching physics to first-year college students is to help them to develop the ability to translate word problems into algebraic formulations that can yield the correct solutions to the word problems. The example cited here is a case of a common failure which I have seen so often. Warren would have his readers believe that the answer to question No.2 is the correct answer to question No.1.
