    The passage discusses the unitary method, which is a problem-solving technique that involves finding the value of one unit and then using it to calculate other quantities. The key steps are to express the problem mathematically, find the value of one unit using division, and then use multiplication to calculate other values.

    The unitary method focuses on finding the value of one unit. The key steps are to express the problem mathematically, find the value of one unit using division, and then use multiplication to calculate other values.

    Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use the unitary method to solve problems involving converting between different units like kilograms to rupees, pages to hours, and kilometers to hours.

    Unitary method

    Introduction
    Finding the value of one unit and then using it to find
    the value of the required number of units is known
    as Unitary Method

    The Unitary method focuses on the “UNIT” which


    means one.

    Key : “Knowing for 1”


    Steps involved in Unitary method
    • Express the problem in Mathematical Statement

    • Find the value of one unit of the given item using


    Division
    • Find the value of the required number of the same
    items using Multiplication

    1 units to more units More units to 1 unit


    – Multiply – Divide
    Example 1: The costs of 8kg of rice is Rs. 104. What is the costs of 6kg
    of rice?
    Solution: We can solve using unitary method,
    Step 1: Express in Mathematical statement
    Costs of 8 kg rice = Rs. 104

    Step 2: Finding the value of one unit using division


    104
    Cost of 1 kg rice = 8  Rs 13

    Step 3: Finding the value of 6kg rice using multiplication.

    Costs of 6kg rice = 13 x 6 = Rs 78


    Hence, the costs of 6 kg rice is Rs.78
    Example 2: If a person reads 60 pages of a book in 4 hours, how many
    pages will he read in 7 hours at the same speed?
    Solution: We can solve using unitary method,
    Step 1: Express in Mathematical statement
    Number of pages read in 4 hours = 60

    Step 2: Finding the value of one unit using division


    60
     15 pages
    Number of pages read in 1 hour = 4

    Step 3: Finding the value of pages read in 7 hours using multiplication.

    Number of pages read in 7 hours = 15 x 7 = 105


    Hence, Number of pages read in 7 hours is 105
    Example 3: A bus travel 360 km in 8 hour with constant speed.
    How much distance it travels in 3 hour.
    Solution: We can solve using unitary method,
    Step 1: Express in Mathematical statement
    Bus travel in 8 hours = 360km
    Step 2: Finding the value of one unit using division
    360
    Bus travel in 1 hour = 8  45
    Step 3: Finding the value of bus travel in 3 hours using multiplication.

    Bus travel in 3 hours = 45 x 3 = 135


    Hence, Bus travel in 3 hours is 135
    Try These
    1. A car travels 48kms in 6 hours. How long will the car travel to
    cover a distance of 24kms?

    2 . The weight of a whale shark is about 16000 kg. What is the


    weight of 6 such whale sharks?

    3 . A fisherman caught a big fish of weight 25 kg. He sold the


    whole fish for ` 5000. At what price per kg did he sell the fish?
