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

The height of the graph of the probability density function f(x) varies with X as follows (round to four decimal places): X 16 Height of the Graph of the Probability Density Function You are flying out of Terminal 3 at JFK on a Wednesday afternoon between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. You get stuck in a traffic jam on the way to the airport, and if it takes you longer than 12 minutes to clear security, you'll miss your flight. The probability that you'll miss your flight is You have arrived at the airport and have been waiting 10 minutes at the security checkpoint. Recall that if you spend more than 12 minutes clearing security, you will miss your flight. Now what is the probability that you'll miss your flight? ○ 0.5 O 0.25 ○ 0.8333 ○ 0.6667
