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 …

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 experime…

Suppose a car driven by Emma G. passes a crosswalk while driving at a constant speed of 5 meters per second and continues driving at this constant speed. Let t represent the number of seconds since the car passed the crosswalk and let d represent the car's distance from the crosswalk (in meters). How much did the car's distance (in meters) from the crosswalk change over this interval of time? Δd= meters Over this interval of time, the change in the car's distance from the crosswalk in meters (Δd) is how many times as large as the change in the number of seconds since the car passed the crosswalk (Δt)?
