You use a form of algebra every time you try to figure out how much of something you need. How many more bricks to complete that walkway? How many boards to finish that floor? How many bales of hay to feed 150 horses when a bale is 12 flakes and you feed 2 flakes per day per horse?
Pretty sure they are the people who whined in school that they didn’t like to read, they didn’t see the point of math, why couldn’t it all just be recess and movies? I don’t know how often I heard that they were never gonna use algebra, or need to know about paragraphs.
