Here’s an unshmoopy question to put you nearly to sleep…

00:06

The arithmetic method involved in finding the number of meters in 1 centimeter is equivalent

00:11

to the methods used in finding each of the following EXCEPT… what?

00:15

Here are the potential answers...

00:21

So… what is this question asking?

00:23

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

00:27

The key thing we have to glean here is size…

00:30

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.

00:51

Good call, Alice.
