What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

Given that a container of milk contains 8 cups of milk. if paul sets aside [tex]1\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex] cups of milk for use in a recipe , then we get the leftover;

8  -  [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = 8 -  7/5

= 40- 7/5

= 33/5

= 6.6

The the rest cups of milk = 6.6

Then the rest evenly among his three children 6.6/3 = 1.1

Hence, Each child will receive the 1.1 cup of milk.
