The RQWQCQ Strategy for Solving Math Word Problems is a great tool to help you comprehend what’s being asked of you, and how you can work out the answer.
Read:- read the problem, out loud helps. And drawing a picture, as you read it, helps as well.

Question:- Look in the problem and identify what the question actually is.

Write:- Write a list of the facts you need to answer the question. If the question gives you information, write it in, and if the question has extra information not needed for working of the answer, then cross that out.

Question:- Question yourself- “What formulas will I need to answer this??”

Compute:- Apply the formula, and compute!! Make sure you check your answers for accuracy.

Questions:- Ask yourself, “Is the answer I got possible? Is it probable?” If the answer is no to either of these, then check through it again.
