This document discusses how to solve multi-operational word problems that involve more than one math operation. It recommends carefully reading and understanding the problem, and optionally drawing the problem to identify the necessary operations and equation. The ESA Method is introduced as a way to solve these problems, which stands for: E (Express the question in an equation), S (Solve the equation), and A (Answer the question). Three sample word problems are presented and solved using the ESA Method to illustrate this process.
3. HOW TO SOLVE?
In solving Multi-operational Word Problems,
the key is to READ and UNDERSTAND the
problem carefully.
You MAY ALSO DRAW the problem. That will
help a lot especially when finding out the
operations necessary, and formulating the
equation needed to solve the problem.
ESA Method is also used in solving these
4. LETS TRY!
At sir Romes house, there are 2
chicken, 3 dogs, and 5 cats.
What is the total number of legs
of those animals at sir Romes
house?
6. LETS TRY!
Kara bought 2 pieces of ribbon for
75 pesos each, 5 pieces of shirt for
258 pesos each, and 7 skirts for 150
pesos each. If she had 5,000 pesos,
how much would be left for her?
8. LETS TRY!
In the first quarter, Joshua was able to
collect the following Reci-balls: 12
Pok辿balls (1 pt), 6 Great Balls (2 pts), 4
Ultra Balls (3 pts), and 3 Master Balls (5
pts). What is the total recitation points
he had collected for that quarter?
