Why do we need to learn math if we aren't going to use math in our lives?

I'll challenge you to describe a life that doesn't use math.
I'll even bet you money that you can't do it.

Even if you move to a remote Pacific island, where only two
or three other people live, wear banana leaves for a skirt, and
hunt, trap, fish, and pick fruit for food, you can't do it.

The first time you catch 200 fish and your neighbor picks
150 coconuts, you need some coconuts and he needs some fish,
so you decide to trade some of yours for some of his. You both
need to agree on how many coconuts are worth how many fish,
and how long the fish will stay edible before they begin to stink. 
Then you need to know how to count fish, coconuts, and days.
None of that can happen without some math.

I promise you ... The only way you're going to live a life without math
is if you decide right now that you refuse to learn any, and you grow up
not knowing any.  Then you'll be lucky to get a job, and if you do then
you'll never know if you're getting paid the right amount or being cheated. 
You'll never know what you can buy and what you can't, and you'll go
through life totally broke. 
You'll wake up one day and say to yourself "Self ! How can you call this a life ? ! ?"

You always do math. Your a pilot. How much speed should you go Your a nurse. How many meds? How much? Your a writer. Write a book about math. You need math to succeed. You need math for any job. In the book I'm reading the character doesn't go to school and she NEEDS math. Your counting oranges. How many? Your dividing cookies for your family. How many will each get? Your multiplying every cookie by 2 since you doubled the recipe. Your subtracting because you paid for a box of chocolates. You had $60.00 and the box was $16.55 How much is left? You made a bet and you won $100 how much do you have? These are only examples but the point is, you need money and with money comes math and with math comes jobs where you make money? You wanna succeed? You get MATH!!!!

current rules for telephone area codes allow the use of digits 2-9 for the first digit and 0-9 for the second and third digits.
lukranit [14]
In this question, there are 10 digit phone number which was divided into 3-3-4 digits. Every first digit of the division should be 2-9 which mean only 8 possibilities. The other digits would be 0-9 which mean 10 possibilities. Then the calculation would be:

8*10*10   *    8*10*10    *   8*10*10*10  = 8^3 * 10*7= 512 * 10^7= 5.12 * 10^9

If you convert <span>400,000,000 into the scientific form it will become 4* 10^8. Since 5.12*10^9 > 4 * 10^8, then it is clear that the number should be enough</span>

A 34-inch piece of wood is 2.4% of a longer piece of wood. How long is the longer piece of wood? Show your work. You can use pro
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Think of this as a proportion: 2.4 is to 100, as 34 is to L ("L" for "Long piece.")

Cross multiply to get 2.4 L = 3400, then divide both sides by 2.4 to be left with

L = 3400/2.4, so

L = 1416.666...

So the longer piece of wood is 1,416.66... inches long.

Hope this helps!!:)

Break the figure into a triangle and a rectangle. 

The triangle has a base of 6 and a height of 3, so the area is 6*3/2 = 18/2 = 9
The rectangle has a length of 5 and a height of 6, so 6*5 = 30 is the area of the rectangle.

The total area is 30+9 = 39
