Abstract
Frequently, mathematical models describing problems stated in words appear trivial in hindsight. This is because the crucial insight needed to formulate the model is divulged by the structure of the model.
An adaptation of this article has been published in the Two- Year College Mathematics Journal, vol. 10, pp. 245–254, 1979.
