Application
Most math problems that you will encounter in the workplace do not come written with the appropriate operator (+. -, ÷, or x) in place. As an employee you will need to decode the real life problem into an algorithm. Words used that typically indicate multiplication are:
PRODUCT
MULTIPLIED
TIMES
DOUBLE
TRIPLE
OF
Examples:
1. A very small magnet is wound with 97 layers with 215 turns per layer. How many turns of wire are on the coil?
