It would be nice to see your answer ...
Hello Melon Head:
A verbal model is a model that is described by words, rather than by formulas, tables, or graphs. We use verbal models to understand the relationships between different quantities so that we can write mathematical models (equations) to answer questions about these quantities.
Are you able to describe in words the answer that you have?
Here's a PDF document that describes some of the common phrases used in verbal models and how to build equations from verbal models.
I found this by searching on "verbal model" at Google
If this does not help you, then please post your exercise and your answer.
Cheers,
~ Mark
