Part two
Use Integers in Applications
Use Integers in Applications
We’ll outline a plan to solve applications. It’s hard to find something if we don’t know what we’re looking for or what to call it! So when we solve an application, we first need to determine what the problem is asking us to find. Then we’ll write a phrase that gives the information to find it. We’ll translate the phrase into an expression and then simplify the expression to get the answer. Finally, we summarize the answer in a sentence to make sure it makes sense.
Example 1: How to Apply a Strategy to Solve Applications with Integers |
Question: The temperature in Urbana, Illinois, one morning was Solution: Step 1. Read the problem. Make sure all the words and ideas are understood. Step 2. Identify what we are asked to find. the difference of the morning and afternoon temperatures Step 3. Write a phrase that gives the information to find it. the difference of Step 4. Translate the phrase to an expression.
Step 5. Simplify the expression.
Step 6. Write a complete sentence that answers the question. The difference in temperatures was |
