I can assume you have no problem in solving word problem if it dealt with whole numbers. if so then dealing with fraction is easy. Instead of the numbers now you have fraction. in the question you have to find out wither you need to add, subtract, divide or multiply?
if you find difficult with fraction convert the fraction into decimals do, but i will not advice to do so. Practice some question in add, subtract, divide or multiply fractions. then you will find it easy when you do word problems.
i cannot simply say without question wither you add, subtract, divide or multiply?
good luck
