A processing machine crushes 3 and 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 answer

To find the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruits, we need to divide the amount of fruits crushed by the time it took to crush them.

Amount of fruits crushed: 3 and 1/4 = 13/4 kilograms
Time taken: 3/4 minute

Rate = Amount crushed / Time taken
Rate = (13/4) / (3/4)
Rate = 13/3 = 4.33 kilograms per minute

Therefore, the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruits is 4.33 kilograms per minute.
