Really it’s just a general overview of how we solve word problems.

that we are going from large to small in all of the answers…
- 00:37
…except this on. B, which is going to be small to large.
- 00:41
And really… that’s all there is to it.
- 00:43
No foolproof way to approach a problem like this… you just have to call upon your reasoning
- 00:47
ability and a dash of common sense… and think.
