Best Answer

Some of the ways abolitionists used math in their work was in calculating distance in the travels of the slaves they were helping to escape to the North. Math was also used for calculating direction when using latitude and longitude to plan the escape routes of the slaves.

In addition to that, they used math in calculating the time it would take to get from one destination to another because timing was crucial. The bounty hunters were often so very closely behind them that they had to be extremely careful in planning their timing, both in departure times as well as arrival times.
