MATH IN MODERN WORLD

2 TOPICS AND CONSTRUCT YOUR OWN PROBLEM


1 FOR AGE WORD PROBLEM
1 FOR DISTANCE, RATE, AND TIME WORD PROBLEM

AGE PROBLEM
1.) Oskar is 16 years younger than Wiggy. If the sum of their ages is 30, how old is Oskar?
Let
x represents the age of Oskar (x+ 16) represents the X+(x+16) = 30 one of Wiggy
x+x+(16) = 30

x+(x+16) = 30
x+x+16 = 30
2x+16 = 30
2x+16+(-16) = 30+(-16)
2x+16 -16 = 30 -16
2x = 14
2x = 14
2 2
X= 7
Therefore, Oskar is 7 years old.

DISTANCE RATE TIME PROBLEM
1.) Jose left the white house and drove toward the recycling plant at an average speed of 40
km/h. Rob left at the same Time later driving in the same direction at an avarage speed of
48 km/h. After driving for five hours Rob Caught up with Jose How long did Jose drive
before Rob caught up?
R x T= D

R T D

Jose 40 X 40x

Rob 48 5 240

40X = 240

X= 6km/h

After answering your own formulated problems. The following questions should be answered.

1. How did you formulate your own problem from the 3 topics mentioned?
- I formulate my own problem by following the steps of each problem I watch in youtube and I
use practical and relatable example and solve it myself to confirm it.

2. How did you determine that your own constructed problem is aligned in the 3 topics
mentioned?

-To ensure that the constructed problem aligns with the topics mentioned, I followed these steps:

Understand the Core Concepts, Match the Problem Structure, Use Familiar Formats and
Equations, Test the Solution Process

3. What do you think of the level of difficulty you encountered upon constructing the problem?

-The difficulty was moderate, as constructing realistic and solvable problems required balancing
simplicity and complexity.

4. How did you arrive at your answers.

I arrived at my answers by carefully analyzing the given topics and following these steps:

Understand the Examples

Apply Known Formulas

Verify Accuracy

5. Enumerate the steps you follow upon answering your constructed problems.

For the Age Word Problem

1. Define Variables: Assign a variable to represent the unknown age(s).


2. Set Up an Equation: Use the relationships described in the problem to form an equation.
3. Solve the Equation: Simplify and solve for the variable.
4. Verify the Answer: Substitute the solution back into the problem to ensure it satisfies all
conditions.

For the Distance, Rate, and Time Problem

1. Define Variables: Assign variables for the unknown time, rate, or distance as needed.
2. Identify Known Values: Write down given rates, times, and distances.
3. Set Up an Equation: Use the relationship Distance=Rate×Time to form an equation based
on the problem scenario.
4. Solve the Equation: Isolate the unknown variable and compute the value.
5. Verify the Answer: Check if the solution satisfies the conditions of the problem.
