a processing machine crushes 3 1/4 kilograms of dry fruits in 3/4 minutes what is the rate In kilograms per minute at which the machine crushes

Answer 1

To find the rate at which the machine crushes the dry fruits in kilograms per minute, we can use the formula:

Rate = Amount crushed / Time taken

In this case, the amount crushed is 3 1/4 kilograms and the time taken is 3/4 minutes.

Convert 3 1/4 kilograms to an improper fraction:
3 1/4 = 13/4

Now calculate the rate:
Rate = 13/4 / 3/4
Rate = 13/4 * 4/3
Rate = 13 / 3
Rate = 4 1/3 kilograms per minute

So, the machine crushes dry fruits at a rate of 4 1/3 kilograms per minute.
