Chemistry

Why do we have to do so much math in chemistry? Why can't they just tell us the answer to everything?

We have to do a lot of math because we have to convert measurements. Also in order to find certain things you have to know say mass and volume to find density and vise versa in order to divide. Also since we don't use the metric system normally, we have to convert everything to the metric system.

They are trying to teach us that we need to work a little to get the answer. The math helps with are skills that will be involved in the everyday world. It helps us be involved in real-world situations.

so we know how the things work and how much is used in the mixture. how much work force is used in a day or mouth. how much bacteria is in the contaner.

First off, they dont just give us the answer we have to work for it. We have to convert to metrics and convert from like millimeters to meters and stuff like that. Also to figure out the mass we have to use a formula. If they gave us the answer to everything then there wouldn't be anything for us to learn.

They are teaching us that we need to work to get the answer. The math helps with the skills we need in the real world. You can use it in real world situations.

thats the way it is. without math the world would be easy. oh im not going to be in class today. thank the lordy

We have to convert convert measurement. They are trying to get us ready for the real world. If they just told us the answer we wouldnt be learning anything.

We have to find out the exact measurements and to do that we need math. If we didn't have math we wouldn't be accurate. Math helps us around the world to find out mass and volume and much more.

We have to convert different measurments. If they just gave us the answer, it would be too easy, then we wouldn't think we would have to work hard in the real world. We would just think that the answer would just come to us like that.

We have alot of math in chemistry partially because of the units of measure that we use. We have to convert the measurments from standard to metric. WE also need math to perform equations to find volume, mass, ect.

We have to convert measurments. We need to be able to measure things to. Also we need to be able to do the same things over again so we need to be able to measure and weigh things. Lets just say math helps us out alot in figuring our problems out.

we have to do so much math in chemistry because of the units of measure that we use.its also so much math b/c we have to convert most things to the metric system so that other scientists and researches can understand it.math helps w/many things in understanding real-wrold situations and people can't just give us the answers to everything b/cd they might not know it for sure
