DIRECTIONS: Read each passage and select the best answer to
the item that follows.
Many students ponder the usefulness of the mathematics
they are being taught in the classroom as they factor out
equations or memorize the rules of exponents. However,
there are important, real-life applications for math skills. The
kitchen is one place where people constantly need to work
out math problems. Cooking requires innumerable
measurement conversions: teaspoons to tablespoons,
Celsius to Fahrenheit, cups to quarts. Cooking times need to
be calculated based on ingredients and desired results, and
recipes are divided or multiplied to produce smaller or larger
quantities. So, the next time you wonder about the
applicability of math, remember the many delicious reasons
that reside in your kitchen.
