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.

Given:

In 24 minutes = 1524 feet

So, the average Change in altitude per minute

=1524/24

= 63.5 alt/ min

hence, change in altitude per minute is 63.5 alt/ min.
