Answer 1

Sure... if you look at the index here and scroll down about halfway you'll see under the heading 'word problems' how to do various kinds of word problems, such as work, mixture, distance, etc.
By the way, congratulations on wanting to understand how to do this, rather than just wanting others to do it for you.
Good luck!
