​To the right of the screen, you can see a formula called Train Tracks. It is a page in the shape of a t and each section of the T has something written there. In the top left section, it says What I am given. That means what unit and number is given to you in the problem. The top left says what I want. That is the exact meaning. One is left blank intentionally and the last section says the unit I am given. That means feet, inches, etc.
