What is unitary method?

'The unitary method is a technique for solving a problem by first finding the value of a single unit, and then finding the necessary value by multiplying the single unit value.'

According to the given problem,

Time taken by Ryan to complete building the tree house = 85[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours

                                                                                               = [tex]\frac{341}{4}[/tex] hours

Hours he work on the tree house = 15[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

                                                        = [tex]\frac{31}{2}[/tex]

Weeks taken by Ryan to complete building = [tex]\frac{341}{4}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{31}{2}[/tex]

                                                                        = 5.5 weeks

                                                                        = 5 weeks 5 days

Hence, we can conclude that Ryan is going to take 5 weeks and 5 days to complete building the tree house.
