Math Request


Hello Blog readers! This is Ben speaking. For a math assignment, I have been studying statistics and surveys. For an extension activity, I need to ask a few people what they drink most often in the mornings with breakfast. Your options are:

            Coffee
            Juice
            Milk
            Something else (please name what it is)

I’m also supposed to compare the difference in drinking habits (no pun intended) between adults and children. So ask your kids or younger siblings what they drink in the morning. Please respond by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, including whether you are a child or adult (over 20). PLEASE comply! I will need the data collected in this assignment for future math lessons. Thanks! ~ Ben

2 Adults - coffee. with sugar and half and half. 2 cups per adult.
4 children ages 8-14 - juice, 2 glasses each. more if I would let them, but I limit them to 2. Then they need to drink water if still thirsty.

Thanks for your comment, Aunt Cindy! I definitely think coffee is the winner for adults and juice for the kids. Though I was surprised how many people actually drink water for breakfast!
Hope to see you all soon!

Ben-

are you going to update us on your math problem and the stats you compile?? I hope!

oh, I'm an adult.

p.s. the child I babysit most often drinks orange juice for breakfast

Thank you for your comment, Cousin Nancy! I always have milk and orange juice for breakfast as well. Some people think that's not appetizing, though I personally enjoy that combination.

I sure hope we can see you and your family really soon. Mabe we can skype again.

Thanks for your comment, 989cookie! That is a great way to get those "Eight glasses a day" doctors suggest! Drinking water on a daily basis is a weak spot for me.

I actually never thought of posting my results. But since you mentioned it maybe I will. I technically only needed 8 adults and 8 children for this assighnment. But since I received so much feedback maybe I will combine all my stats and post them over the weekend.

Thanks for your comment, Aunt Debbie! Your information will be useful. I will always remember one Christmas seeing Tyler drinking water from his new canteen. I was a little reluctant. My canteen smelled weird. Tyler had washed his with hand soap. He claimed his water tasted "Delicous!"

Thanks for your comment, Miss Patty! I can tell by the large coffee mug Mr. David has in the sound room that he enjoys coffee.:)
Thanks again!
