What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method in which you find the value of a unit and then the value of a required number of units.

In the unitary method, the value of a unit quantity is calculated first to calculate the value of other units. It has two types of variations.

• Direct Variation
• Inverse Variation

We can use the unitary method to solve the given question.

It is given that for 8 muffins 1$\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons of baking powder is required.

And we need to find the amount of baking powder for 3 dozen muffins.

3 dozen= 3×12          because 1 dozen has 12 muffins

= 36 muffins

Now,

1$\frac{1}{2}$ or 1.5 teaspoon for 8 muffins

Then how many teaspoons for 36 muffins

So,

1.5×$\frac{36}{8}$

= $\frac{54}{8}$

=6.75

=6$\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoons

So 6$\frac{3}{4}$ teaspoons are required.
