To find the rate of kilograms per minute, we need to divide the amount of dried fruit crushed by the time it took to crush it.
Amount of dried fruit crushed: 3 1/4 kilograms = 13/4 kilograms
Time taken to crush: 3/4 minutes
Rate of kilograms per minute = (13/4 kg) / (3/4 min)
Rate of kilograms per minute = (13/4) * (4/3)
Rate of kilograms per minute = 13/3
Rate of kilograms per minute = 4 1/3 kilograms per minute
Therefore, the rate of kilograms per minute at which the processing machine crushes dried fruit is 4 1/3 kilograms per minute.
a processing machine crushes 3 1/4 kilograms of dried fruit in 3/4 minutes.
