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[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] 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[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or 1.5 teaspoon for 8 muffins
Then how many teaspoons for 36 muffins
So,
1.5×[tex]\frac{36}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{54}{8}[/tex]
=6.75
=6[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] teaspoons
So 6[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] teaspoons are required.
