Mathematics in Daily Life

Introduction to Everyday Mathematics answers:-

Our life is intertwined with mathematics.

We use mathematics in our daily life.

We use mathematics  to measure the distance, the weights, to find volume, to know the time,  to measure temperature, to dilute liquids, to  make a concentrate of a solution etc. Understanding radian and degree measure is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.


Use of mathematic in every day with answers

As soon as we get up in the morning, we look at the clock to know the time.

We measure the coffee and  count the slices of bread for the family.

When we go to the market to buy vegetables, we calculate the prices of the purchase.

As we walk home after purchase, we make a note of the day's temperature.

Cooking needs time management, weight management and volume management and temperature adjustment.

We need to pay for the ironed dress to wear for the office, pay for petrol for the motorbike  etc.

The office work also involves mathematical calculations, charts and graphs. Having problem with Radian Measure keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.


Use of mathematics outside home with answers


When we go shopping, we have to pay the bill, which is a  mathematical calculation.

Discount offered at the shops and taxes also involves calculations.

Buying and selling of various commodities involves profit or loss.

When you share your  food with friends, it involves fractions.

We convert money to bigger or smaller units.

We also convert measurements to higher or lower units in our daily life.


Mathematic in managing outside activities with answers


When we  build a house , we use the calculation called "Time and  Work".   This system is also used for many

other activities like mowing a garden, plucking tea leaf, harvesting a crop etc

We use the form "Time and distance" when we travel.

We use  the form 'Time and speed"  when we go up and down the stream and river.

We also use 'Time and speed" in sports activities, especially races.


Perimeter, area and volume in daily life with answers


If we want to fence our garden, we use the perimete formula of various shapes.

If we want to  have a lawn in our garden, we calculate the area of the lawn.

If we want to store our harvested grains, we use the volume formula.

If we want to pack the grains in sacks, we use the break-up of the volume to smaller volumes.

Thus we note that  purchases, sales, profits , losses, tax, discounts, time, weights, volumes, area, perimeter

work, speed etc are  used daily in our life .
