To find the rate at which Uriel crushes aluminum cans, we need to divide the number of cans by the time it takes to crush them.

3 cans / (2/3) minutes = 3 cans * 3/2 minutes = 9/2 cans = 4 1/2 cans

Therefore, the rate at which Uriel crushes aluminum cans is 4 1/2 cans per minute.

The answer is C. 4 1/2
