How is math useful?

Answer 1

Mathematics is used in computing numbers, fractions and many things....

I use math to figure how the cost of things per quart or per pound; to balance my check book and my budget; to measure a room area in order to purchse furniture that fits; to measure fabric, wood, or other materials for a handcraft project; cups, tablespoons, or pints for adjusting recipes; calculating my car's gas mileage; counting out enough bus fare or a waiter's tip; calculating the expected life span, cost of replacement, against the cost of an extended warranty; setting my alarm clock or TV recording device; scoring a card game...

Answer 2
