 You should G.U.E.S.S.!!Givens
List each numerical value found in the problem. Include the variableand unit/label for each number. Example:
l
= 7.1 m
 w
= 9.4 m
h
= 380 cm = 3.80 m(Note: it is wise to anticipate converting any units during this step)
Unknowns
Identify what it is that you are trying to find or solve for. Example:
 v
- volume of a large room

 v
=
l
x
 w
x
h
 
Substitution
Rewrite the equation or T-chart, but this time substitute in anyknown/given quantities and conversion factors. Be sure to includeall units!
 v
= (7.1 m) x (9.4 m) x (3.8 m)
