Objective
Learn how two-step word problems fit into solving by problem type.
What You’ll Learn
Take a look at two two-step word problems. Pay attention to how the problem type determines the process of how the problem is solved.
Two-step word problems will have two problem types. They could be either the same problem type or different problem types.
One problem type will be the dominant one, which is the main action or relationship in the problem. The second problem type, while included, may not be used to solve the problem per se. The second problem type may be used in two parts within the first problem type.
The second problem illustrates this concept where the PPW is broke up and used in the SRU with repeated subtraction.
