Word problems that can be solved by applying the rule of three.

Example

Description

Simple word problems with direct or indirect proportional relations. The maximum size of the proportionality constant can be set. For tasks with money this relates to the number of cents of an amount, for tasks involving time this is the maximum number of seconds. The maximum size of the initial divisor (by which to divide to obtain the proportionality constant), the target multiplier (by which to multiply to obtain the value sought) can also be limited. Since the conversion from cents to euros may present an additional challenge, it can be determined whether such tasks are allowed. The number of problems can also be selected.
