What is a 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.

Calculation :

1 pound = 16 ounces

Total cheese Ellie has = $\frac{2}{8}$ pound

Cheese required to make tacos = $\frac{2}{8}$×$\frac{1}{2}$ = $\frac{1}{8}$ pounds

Ounces of cheese required to make cheese are $\frac{1}{8}$ × 16 = 2 ounces
