Glad it helped MAC! Organizing these word problems are key! Thanks for watching.

But you haven't been crushing your grammar section. "I seen" ???

You're welcome and thanks! Glad it helped!

Glad the tut helped. Good luck on the ASVAB!

Of course I'll see it. I make it a priority to read and respond to all comments. I appreciate your comment and am glad the tutorial helped.

+Sharay Upshur You're welcome! Good luck!

Glad it helped!

Boom! 👊👍

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting.

+Josie Fothergill good luck! I don't think you should have a problem like this. Please follow up though after the test. Have you seen my teas test series playlist of videos?

Thanks Charlie. Glad it helped.

You bet. Glad it helped.

You're welcome. Glad it helped!

You're welcome. Glad it helped!

You're welcome Ryan. Glad it helped!

Brandon Craft best explanation yet! Huge help! Thanks man. Detailed teaching, some teachers forget to break it down completely.....

Thanks! I'm glad the breakdown helped!

Glad it helped.

+Lueng Wattanakiri 70 km = _____ miles You can do a proportion.... 70km / x miles = 1.60934 km / 1 mile Or, similarly.... 70km / x miles = 1 km / .621371 miles Your answers will differ slightly since the conversions are rounded approximations.

You're welcome! Let me know of any videos that you may need.

Thanks! Glad it helped!

Glad it helped Charles!

I was going to say the exact same thing. LOL Thanks Brandon!

You bet. Glad it helped. I appreciate the comment.

You bet!

You're welcome! Glad it helped!

You bet! Glad it helped.

Thumbs up for me for this video

Thanks. Glad it helped. Good luck!

Glad it helped! Thanks!

That is correct. Like many algebra word problems, there are definitely multiple ways of getting the same answer. I stuck with this chart technique as a universal approach to solving many types of DRT word problems. Check out this: idomath.weebly.com/make-a-request.html Make a request through that page and included some examples from your text. I'd be happy to do a few of them in a new tutorial. Thanks!

You did a great job on your video because most people are looking for the less complicated examples than I; your videos are very helpful for people trying to pass a math class and to understand the basics; but, I wanted to try and get a good grasp of word problems that were shown different than the text book examples.

If you run across any examples in particular that are causing trouble, hit me up. Thanks! I'm glad the tuts have helped you understand the basics.

Thanks. Glad it helped.

You're welcome. Glad it helped!

To help you further Stephanie Harris, feel free to reply with a sample problem that you are trying to solve. I typically get the video uploaded within the day that it's requested. Thanks!

Hi Brandon, thanks for the quick reply. The ones that typically give me the most trouble are like this: Stephanie goes uphill to the convenience store at a speed of 5mph. It takes her 20 minutes to get there. She then travels back the same way she came at a speed of 15 mph. What is her average speed for the entire trip to the store and back? The math probably won't work out to whole numbers exactly because I just pulled them out of thin air. The only thing I know about solving this type of problem is Avg speed= total distance divided by total time. But I always have trouble finding total distance. It frustrated me to no end because it's basic algebra but I'm not sure how to set up the problem. Look forward to the upload

Yes! Thank you so much!! I'm subbing as of today. My math education has some major gaps & I need all the help I can get. Thanks again!

Stephanie Harris Sorry for not uploading sooner. Slipped my mind with all the Christmas madness! :) Here is a link.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZWRHIEPx7xU.html

Thanks! Glad it helped.

+Contrarianexpressio I'm assuming 20 feet per hour is the turtles speed and 90 feet per hour for the hare. Turtle gets 24 hour head start since rabbit is napping. That means 24 hours x 20 feet per hour = 480 ft. The turtle has already traveled 480 feet before the rabbit takes off. The turtle has 530 - 480 = 50 feet left. At a speed of 20 feet per hour, it would only take the turtle 50/20 = 2.5 hours to complete the race. The rabbit would only travel 90 x 2.5 = 225 feet during that time. Therefore the rabbit would not catch up. HOWEVER.... if the speed is not 20ft per hour and 90 feet per hour, this would work out different. If you could tell me is is per hour, per day, or what, I could tell you how things would turn out differently.

Thanks Jacob! Good luck with the test!

***** Yeah i didnt finish it yet i took my time. But the video helped!

***** So i am definately watching it again!

Jacob Smith Good enough! Let me know if there are other videos that you need!!!

***** nope i am good! the videos really helped cause i got a 96 on that test!!! thanks so much!!! but could u maybe upload radical equation problems that would be helpful!

Thanks! :)

Thanks!

Thanks JT. Glad it helped.

@@bcraftmath ....hey, you're welcome. Im presently on your website trying to search out more word problems. Haven't found any on Googledrive yet.

@@jtleon7086 Try DMA 040.... worksheet 3... the DMA 040 Review Video has some word problems in it as well. Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mkE8Ef6Dez4.html

Several word problems are in that video.

@@bcraftmath .....thanks again, I'm a 50 yr old just getting to keep the brain cells from dying.

This one is quite challenging. I worked it out for ya.... check out this link: drive.google.com/open?id=1S4StMq4uMJ8wnT7hwwr1wot-TE4guEcx

The 4x and 4(x+7) represents the distances of each truck. You need to add their distances together and set it equal to how far they are apart... which is 404.

+Brandon Craft (CraftMath) 5:13 : How is the result of 4x+4(x+7) = 404 the slow truck's speed? You have combined the speed of the fast truck 4(x+7) in it which I think has nothing to do with the speed of the slow one?

The speed of the slow truck is just "x" the speed of the fast truck is "x+7" since the fast truck goes 7mph faster than the slow. 4x is the distance the slow truck travels since rate x time = distance.... rate = speed = x and time = 4 4(x+7) is the distance of the fast truck. The equation 4x+4(x+7) = 404 is the sum of the two distances which equals 404 because we are trying to find the speed "x" in which it makes the distance between the vehicles 404. I did not label the equation as the speed of the slow truck. In the table, the speed of the slow truck x.

+Brandon Craft (CraftMath) That really helped. Thanks so much!

You're welcome. Using the table helps you organize the speed (rate), time and distance. Always multiply the rate and the time together to get the distance. Glad it helped!

You could use guess and check, but it's still necessary to understand what the 404 miles represents.

jammerules80 The speed would be 48kmh. This one is hard to explain through typing and that's probably why some of the explanations you have been reading on forums is confusing. I will follow up later on with a video to this problem. It's quite challenging. :) First time I've done a problem like this.

jammerules80 Here ya go! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-s_pJ7jHmWoQ.html

You, sir, are amazing! All I wanted to know was how to handle the delays (35 and 25 minutes) in the expression. Thank you for putting it in a much simpler way. I am indebted to you! Are you teaching GMAT math classes?

jammerules80 I do not, but I have taught some SAT and TEAS test prep classes. Tutoring high school and college students also keeps me busy outside of my full time profession as a community college math instructor. Glad I could help.

jammerules80 I thought it would be best to convert the minutes to hours. I've rarely seen kilometers per MINUTE. :)

How did things go?

Thanks Asianas. Glad it helped.

The board has questions like this? Wow! I never knew.

+Bethany Nevinslong You're welcome!

do you have anymore in math algebra 1 part b?? i have midterms in a week

+Bethany Nevinslong plenty of videos. check out my channel and search in my channel fo whatever topic you need. pretty sure that you can find something. if not let me know.

jammerules80 The first thing I would do is deal with A and B. We'll worry about K later. Using the chart above, set up A and B. A's rate is 30 and B's rate is 40. A's time could be "x" and B's time would then be "x-2" since B started two hours AFTER A. Therefore the expression for A's distance would be "30x" and B's distance would be "40(x-2)". Set the distances equal to each other (similar to the second example I do where they play catch up). This would give you an answer of x = 8. Notice that both A and B traveled 240 km because A traveled at 30 kph for 8 hours = 30*8 = 240km and B traveled at 40 kph = 40*6 = 240km. Yes, B traveled for 6 hours since B left 2 hours AFTER A. So, both A and B traveled 240 km. Now we need to bring K back into the picture. K is going to need to travel 240km just like A and B. Since K travels at 60kph, it would take K 4 hours to travel that distance. Since A traveled for 8 hours, then K started 8-4=4 hours after A left. I hope that helps!

***** You are a lifesaver! Thank you, Thank you! Yes, I solved just like how you described in the video.You have no idea how amazingly simple you made the solution look like. I am preping for GMAT and trust me I have posted this question on a few forums and all I could see is bitterly ugly math. I hope you would not mind if I posted questions related to this topic in the future. Of the few math topics, speed/distance problems give me the jitters.

jammerules80 Post on! Glad it helped! Feel free to search my channel for other problems that you may have. I'm sure there are some that relate to the GMAT material.

Glad I could help! 👊

Jacob Smith Check this out.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qiramy73sR0.html

Kesha Scott Ok! :)

+Jake Cross Hit me with some questions you have from your homework. You can make a request at idomath.weebly.com

Sure am!

To some... yes that is correct. Duly noted. Thanks for watching!

:)

This is not an easy topic, especially when you are faced with these problems for the first time. Practice is key!

Brandon Craft Thank you, I need A LOT of practice.

I wouldn't say ALL math teachers. I am one. :) However, I can relate. As a student during my K-12, secondary and graduate years, I had my share of good and bad math instructors.

Brandon Craft I’m so sorry was that offensive?? It wasn’t meant to be, I was just talking about teachers I’ve had in the past :)

Not at all. I stuck the :) in there... I appreciate the honest feedback and am glad this tutorial helped.

Brandon Craft it did thank you so much
