Beverly is asked to give a five minute presentation about using math in everyday life. She wants to include examples of how she has used math in daily activities.

Answer and Explanation:

Beverly is correct in wanting to present the use of mathematics in everyday activities, as mathematics is present in several common activities that we carry out every day and that without mathematics it would not be possible to do them. Among these activities Beverly can mention the counting of hours of the day, the contention of the day of the month, the amount of ingredients in a recipe, the dosage of medicines, the distance between the house and her school, the purchase of food, among others activities that involve not only numbers, but simple addition and subtraction operations.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
