To determine the kilograms of fruit crushed in one minute, you need to divide the total kilograms by the total minutes.

Question 1

The correct process to solve this problem is:

314 ÷ 34

Now, let's go to Question 2.

Question 2

To compute the kilograms of fruit crushed in one minute:

\[ \frac{314}{34} = 9.23529411764706 \]

Since the answer needs to be in mixed number format, we can simplify \(314 ÷ 34\).

  1. Divide 314 by 34:
    • 34 goes into 314 a total of \(9\) times (since \(34 \times 9 = 306\)).
    • Subtract \(306\) from \(314\): \(314 - 306 = 8\).

So, we have \(9\) whole kilograms and a remainder of \(8\).

  1. Therefore, the mixed number becomes: \[ 9 \frac{8}{34} \]

  2. Simplifying the fraction \( \frac{8}{34} \):

    • \( \frac{8 \div 2}{34 \div 2} = \frac{4}{17} \).

Thus, the final answer in mixed number form is:

9 \(\frac{4}{17}\) kilograms per minute.

The last question was wrong

I apologize for any confusion. Let's go through the calculations again step by step to find the kilograms of fruit crushed in one minute correctly.

Given Data

  • Total kilograms of dried fruits: 314 kg
  • Total time in minutes: 34 minutes

Calculation

To find the kilograms of fruit crushed per minute, we divide the total kilograms by the total minutes:

\[ \text{Kilograms per minute} = \frac{314 \text{ kg}}{34 \text{ min}} \]

Now let's perform the division:

  1. Calculate \( 314 ÷ 34 \)

    • Perform the division:
    • \( 314 \div 34 \approx 9.23529411764706 \)

To express this as a mixed number:

  1. \( 34 \) fits into \( 314 \) approximately \( 9 \) times (since \( 34 \times 9 = 306 \)).
  2. The remainder after subtracting is \( 314 - 306 = 8 \).

Now we can express this as a mixed number:

\[ 9 \frac{8}{34} \]

Next, simplify the fraction \( \frac{8}{34} \):

  • The greatest common divisor (GCD) of 8 and 34 is 2, so we simplify: \[ \frac{8 \div 2}{34 \div 2} = \frac{4}{17} \]

Final Answer

Thus, the answer in mixed number form is:

9 \(\frac{4}{17}\) kilograms per minute
