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.

The time, t, in hours, that it takes x people to plant n trees varies directly

with the number of trees, and inversely with the number of people.

[tex]t \propto n\\\\t \propto \dfrac{1}{x}[/tex]

Suppose 6 people can plant 12 trees in 3 hours.

[tex]3 = 6k\\\\k = 1/2\\\\[/tex]

So, the people are needed to plant 28 trees in 5 hours and 15 minutes

= 8
