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.

### Division Problem: Distributing Complimentary Tickets
**Scenario:**
Inspector Butterman received 68 complimentary tickets to the play "Romeo and Juliet." He has 3 officers who would like to attend. He distributes the tickets evenly among the officers.
**Questions:**
1. **How many tickets will each officer get?**
2. **How many tickets will be left over?**
**Graph/Diagram Explanation:**
There are two empty boxes provided below each question where you can write your answers:
- The first box is for the number of tickets each officer will receive.
- The second box is for the number of tickets left over.
**Calculations:**
1. To determine how many tickets each officer will get, divide the total number of tickets by the number of officers.
\[ \text{Tickets per officer} = \frac{\text{Total tickets}}{\text{Number of officers}} = \frac{68}{3} \]
2. To find out how many tickets will be left over, check the remainder when the total number of tickets is divided by the number of officers.
\[ \text{Tickets leftover} = 68 \mod 3 \]
Write your answers in the corresponding boxes.
