It's possible that you'll never need it. But anybody who

has to work with any of these real-life situations will:

-- figure out what gas mileage your car is getting

-- cook a half-recipe of roast for only 2 people

-- calculate how much punch to make for 75 people at the church social

-- decide what size ladder to rent for your house-painting project next week

-- decide how much paint you'll need to cover the outside of the house

-- decide how many bags of grass seed and lawn fertilizer to buy for the front yard

-- estimate how much it would cost to carpet the upstairs hall, at the great sale price

you saw on TV last night

-- figure out how much you have to put away from each pay-check, starting now,

if you want to retire with $1 million
