Direct Variations Using Unitary Method
Now we will learn how to solve direct variations using unitary method.
We know, the two quantities may be linked in such a way that if one increases, other also increases. If one decreases, the other also decreases.
Some situations of direct variations:
● More articles, more money required to purchase.
● More men at work, more work will be done.
● More speed, more distance covered in fixed time.
● More money borrowed, more interest to be paid.
● More working hours, more work will be done.
Solved examples on direct variations using
unitary method:
1. The cost of 3 kg of sugar is $ 60. What will the cost of 8 kg of sugar be?
Solution:
This is a situation of direct variation, now we solve using unitary method.
Cost of 3 kg of sugar = $ 60
Cost of 1 kg of sugar = $ 60/3 = $ 20
Cost of 8 kg of sugar = $ 20 × 8
Therefore, cost of 8 kg of sugar = $ 160
2. If 13 books cost 169, what do 30 books cost?
Solution:
This is a situation of direct variation, now we solve using unitary method.
Cost of 13 books = $ 169.
Cost of 1 book = $ 169/13 = $ 13.
Cost of 30 books = $ 13 × 30.
Therefore, cost of 30 books = $ 390.
3. A labourer gets $ 684 for 9 days. How many days should he work to get $ 912?
Solution:
This is also a situation of direct variation, now we solve using unitary method.
For $ 684, the labourer works 9 days.
For $ 1, the labourer works 9/684 days.
For $ 912, the labourer works 9/684 × 912 days.
Therefore, for $ 912, the labourer works 12 days.
