Choose the assignment

A clearer way into
your next question.

Start with the subject, then find the kind of reasoning the question needs. Each guide includes a worked example, a request you can adapt in Lirno and checks that fit the task.

For work that crosses subjects, such as a physics word problem, use both the scientific model and the mathematical method.

The right kind of help

Read the instruction.
Choose the next move.

A worksheet can ask for a numerical result and a written explanation about the same material. “Calculate the percentage mass change” needs a calculation using the initial mass. “Explain the change” needs the membrane and solution conditions. Choose the guide for the decision being asked, rather than selecting solely from the appearance of the numbers.

In math, inspect transformations, theorem conditions and the definition of an unknown. In science, connect measurements with a model, units and a mechanism. In English, develop a claim and explain how verified evidence supports it. The subject guide gives you a concrete place to begin.

When you open Lirno, show the full assignment and your attempt. Ask about the particular gap: choosing a formula, interpreting an arrow or revising an unclear sentence. A focused request gives the tutor context it cannot infer from a topic name alone.

After the explanation, do something with it. Complete a step, try a fresh question or rewrite a paragraph from the feedback. Keep the original task and course materials beside the response so you can check important details.

When a question crosses subjects

Follow both threads.
Keep one clear goal.

An assignment does not always stay inside one subject label. A science calculation can need algebra, and a biological explanation can need careful writing. Choose the guide for each decision while keeping the original instruction in view.

Science + math

Build the model.
Then calculate.

A solution contains 0.15 mol at a concentration of 0.30 mol/L. To find its final volume, begin with c = n/V, then rearrange to V = n/c. The result is 0.15/0.30 = 0.50 L. Choosing the scientific relationship and rearranging it are separate decisions.

Check by putting the volume back into the relationship: 0.15 mol / 0.50 L = 0.30 mol/L. Use chemistry to identify what each quantity measures and algebra to explain why the rearrangement is valid.

Biology + explanation

Name the process.
Connect its causes.

A sample changes from 8.0 g to 8.8 g: a 10% mass gain. “The mass increased” describes the observation. An osmosis explanation also needs water permeability, the relevant solution conditions and a water-potential difference that supports net water entry.

Write the observation first, then connect the supplied conditions to the mechanism. If the question does not supply those conditions, distinguish a possible explanation from one the data establish. Use biology for the mechanism and writing guidance for a clear chain of reasons.

Word problems + reading

Read the relationship.
Define the unknown.

Five tickets cost $52 in total. Adult tickets cost $12 and child tickets $8. Define a as the number of adult tickets; the number of child tickets is 5 − a. The total-cost equation is 12a + 8(5 − a) = 52.

Expanding and simplifying gives 4a + 40 = 52, so a = 3: three adult tickets and two child tickets. Check both conditions: 3 + 2 = 5 and 3 × $12 + 2 × $8 = $52. The reading establishes the model; algebra solves it.

FAQs

Which subject should I choose for a mixed question?

Start with the main task. For a physics word problem, use physics to identify the model and units, then use the word problem guide to build the equation.
