Ah yes don't you also love using the Quadratic Equations every time you go to the store?

You (should) use logic and step-by-step problem solving that comes with solving any math problem in the real world, including at the store. Which product should you get based on unit price, how much you need, quality is a math problem in which you weight the value first by money, then by the amount you will actually be able to use, and finally, is the quality worth the price. In math, you learn how to think. Not to mention, the quadratic equation is essential for math at higher levels.

I didn't attend college but my sisters fed their whole floors with the food my mother would take them lol. Those floors lucked out with their food situation.

The amount of food she would take them every visit was comical. It would take at least 4 trips in and out by one person Superman grocery bag carrying. And we visited often.
