A processing machine crushes 3 1/4 kilograms of dried fruits in 3/4 minute. What is the rate, in kilograms per minute, at which the machine crushes dried fruits? (1 point)

Question

A. 3/13

B. 16/39

C. 2 7/16

D. 4 1/3

Answer 1

To find the rate, we need to divide the amount of dried fruits crushed by the time taken.

3 1/4 kilograms divided by 3/4 minute is:

(13/4) / (3/4) = 13/3 = 4 1/3

Therefore, the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruits is 4 1/3 kilograms per minute.

The answer is D. 4 1/3
