Answer 1

To determine the kilograms of dried fruits crushed in one minute, you would divide the total kilograms crushed (314 kg) by the time taken (34 minutes).

The correct process to solve this problem would be:

314 ÷ 34

Next, we can perform the division:

\[ 314 \div 34 = 9.235294 \]

To express this as a mixed number, we can look at the integer part and the decimal. The integer part is 9.

To convert the decimal part (0.235294) into a fraction, we can approximately calculate this part. Since \(0.235294\) is roughly \( \frac{1}{4} \) (since \(0.25 = \frac{1}{4}\)), we simplify it.

Thus, the mixed number can be expressed as:

9 \( \frac{1}{4} \)

So, the final answer is approximately:

9 \( \frac{1}{4} \) kilograms per minute.
