Problem-Solving Worksheet, Page 2

Combine equations until you have the quantity you are solving for equal to and equation containing only known variables. (Do not plug in numbers at this point.) Calculate the solution. (Plug in numbers.)

Evaluate the solution

  1. State the solution to answer the original question (in one or more sentences).

  2. Is it reasonable?

  3. Are the units correct?

Perform unit check.
