Question

Draw a diagram, Diagrams help you to visualize what is going on in the problem.
•Since these problems involve distance, you will use the formula d = rt, where d stands for distance, r stands for the rate, and t stands for time.
•For current and wind problems, remember that going against the current or wind slows down the rate, while going with the current or wind increases the rate.
•Dissect each piece of information carefully regarding the scenario and draw a table if needed.

For age and money problems:
•Assign a variable to each person (age problem) or unknown amount (money problem).
