Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.

Question

A plant food is made from three chemicals, labeled I, II, and III. In each batch of the plant food, the
amounts of chemicals II and III must be in the ratio of 4 to 3. The amount of nitrogen must be at least
60 kg. The percent of nitrogen in the three chemicals is 10%, 6%, and 2%, respectively. If the three
chemicals cost $1.06, $0.83, and $0.61 per kilogram, respectively, how much of each should be used
to minimize the cost of producing at least 700 kg of the plant food?
The minimum cost plant food is made with kg of chemical I, kg of chemical II, and
kg of
chemical III.
(Type integers or decimals. Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A contractor, Susan Meyer, has to haul gravel to three building sites. She can purchase as much as 18 tons at a gravel pit in the north of the city and 14 tons at one in the south. She needs 10, 5, and 10 tons at sites 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The purchase price per ton at each gravel pit and the hauling cost per ton are given in the table below. Susan wishes to determine how much to haul from each pit to each site to minimize the total cost for purchasing and hauling gravel. Hauling Cost per Ton at Site Pit 1 3 Price per Ton North $30 $60 $50 $100 South $60 $30 $40 $120 Now suppose that trucks (and their drivers) need to be hired to do the hauling, where each truck can only be used to haul gravel from a single pit to a single site. Each truck can haul 5 tons, and the cost per truck is five times the hauling cost per ton given above. Only full trucks would be used to supply each site. a.
