What is unitary method?

The unitary method is used to find the value of a single unit from a given multiple.

One box has 16 apples.

One box has 24 lemons.

If 'a' is the weight of  box of apples and 'b' is the weight of box of lemons.

As each apples weigh 2 times the lemon

Weight of box of apples= 16*2*b=32b

Weight of lemon box = 24b

So, a/b

=32b/24b

=32/24

=4/3.

Hence, value of a/b is 4/3.
