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.
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?
