    The document discusses the unitary method, which is a technique for solving problems involving ratios and proportions. It defines the unitary method as finding the value of a single unit from multiple units or vice versa. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use the method to determine the cost of different quantities given the cost of another amount. Key steps involve dividing the total cost by the total number of units to find the cost of one unit, and then multiplying the unit cost by the desired quantity. [/SUMMARY]

    Class: IV Topic: Concepts of unitary method


    Subject: MATHEMATICS

    Unitary Method
    "Unitary method is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value ofmultiple units and the
    value of multiple units from the value of a single unit."

    Here is a situation to understand this method.

    Ria went to an ice-cream parlour and bought 5 ice-creams.She paid

    Rs.125 to the shopkeeper.

    Next day she again goes to same parlour and orders 3 icecreams. So, how much will shebe paying for 3 ice-
    creams?

    This may seem hard to calculate! However, we can solve this problem using the unitarymethod.

    Steps :

    First, let us make a note of the information we have.There are 5 ice-creams.

    5 ice-creams cost Rs.125.

    STEP 1:

    Let’s find the cost of 1 ice-cream.

    In order to do that, divide the total cost of ice-creams by the total number of ice-creams.The cost of 1 ice-cream:
    Therefore, the cost of 1 ice-cream is Rs.25.

    STEP 2:

    To find the cost of 3 ice-creams, multiply the cost of 1 ice-cream with the number of ice-creams.

    Cost of 3 ice-creams:

    Finally, we have the cost of 3 ice-creams i.e. Rs.75.

    What is the formula for unitary method?

    The formula for unitary method is to find the value of a single unit and then find the value of more or fewer units by
    multiplying their quantity with the value of a single unit.

    solved Examples

    Karan goes to a stationery shop to buy some notebooks.

    The shopkeeper informs him that 2 notebooks would cost Rs.90.Can you find the cost of 5
    notebooks?

    Solution

    In this example, the number of books corresponds to the “unit” and the cost of the bookscorresponds to the “value”.

    STEP 1:

    First, we will find the cost of 1 notebook.

    STEP 2:

    Now, we will find the cost of 5 notebooks.

    ∴ Cost of 5 notebooks = Rs 225

    Example 2

    Edwin wants to buy a bottle of ink. At the stationery shop, he was given two options:

    a) Bottle A costing him Rs.55 for 2 Litres


    b) Bottle B costing him Rs.70 for 3 Litres

    Can you help him decide which option would be the best buy?

    Solution

    To help him decide the best buy, we can find the cost of 1 litre of ink.

    For Bottle A; Cost of 1 litre =


    For Bottle B; Cost of 1 litre ink

    We observe that 1 litre ink of type B costs less than 1 litre ink of type A.

    ∴ Bottle B is the best buy.

    Example 3

    Priya can type 540 words in half an hour. How many words will she able to type in 20minutes with same efficiency?

    Solution

    Number of words typed in half an hour i.e. 30 min = 540Therefore, Number of

    words typed in 1 min =

    Number of words typed in 20 min =

    ∴ Priya will be able to type 360 words in20


    minutes

    ● To find the cost of many from the cost of 1, multiply.
