Question. What are the three basic rules to story problems. I still get mixed up as to when to divide, multiply, etc. Can you help me? This also reflects my thinking on fractions....

There is a 'formula' to translate the word problems into an equation...
'is' translates to =
'what number' translates to x
'of' translates to multiplication.

This is all explained on several web pages:
