Non Destructive Inspection, often known as NDI or NDT, is utilized to inspect different types of things that are made of different types of material. Anything from planes, trains, automobiles and ships to oil pipelines, bridges and buildings. NDI is made up of primarily 5 methods to inspect the product without physically affecting the part.

How do I use math at work?

Hi, I’m Kaydence, Lily Ana, and Makynzie’s dad, and I use math everyday as a Design Engineer at Boeing.

•Geometry is very important when designing new

airplane parts because some shapes are stronger

than others.

•Weight is a big concern when designing airplane

parts because if the airplane is too heavy it won’t

get off the ground! We have to calculate the

weight of each part and then add them all

together to figure out how heavy our airplane is

going to be.

•Even simple math, like counting fasteners, is important. If we order too many, we’re

wasting money, and if we don’t order enough, we can’t put the airplane together!

Hi, I’m Jubilee’s mom and I use math while trading digital currencies.

How do I use math at home?

● When I buy digital currencies, I need to check how much I need to pay for it.

● When I set the order to sell some, I multiply some percentage from buying price to get some profits.

● When I check markets I have to estimate how much it will grow or not.

We make foam cushions for boats, RV's, bed toppers, couch cushions and we do custom sewing. We use math everyday with every sale and purchase.

Foam is sold like Lumber in board feet. Each board foot is equal to 144 square inches (12 inches times 12 inches = 144 square inches). The formula you have to do is you take measurements -- depth, length and width -- in inches and you times them together. Then divide by 144 square inches (1 square board foot) to see how many board feet you need. Then you multiply how many board feet you need by the price per board foot to get the total cost.

For example if Mr. Coleman needs new cushions on his couch: It is 8 inches deep, 36 inches long and 21 inches wide.8x36x21=48,384 48,384 divided by 144 = 336 board feet336 board feet times $ .26 per board foot = $87.36 for the foam

I’m Quincee’s mom, Tish, I use math every day as manager of the

Friendly Foam shop.

How I use math at home -- Kaia’s mom Chelsea

● I use math at home when I bake and create recipes. ● I also use it to create a budget for groceries which helps me plan the meals we will

have each week. ● When I make a plan for each weeks meals I use math to figure out how much of

each item I'm going to need. I account for items I already have at home and subtract it from what I need to make my list.

● I use my monthly budget to help me plan which meals will be best to have each week depending on the money I have to spend. I look for specials or sales at the store and get an estimated cost for the money I will need and if it will fit into my budget.

● When I am cooking food, I have to make sure I measure out items properly so that the meal will come out tasting delicious. I also have to make sure not to use too much of one ingredient, especially if it is also going to be used in another recipe. Measuring ingredients and knowing how to cut a recipe in half or double a recipe is something I use everyday.
