To find the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruit, we need to divide the amount of dried fruit crushed by the time taken.

Amount of dried fruit crushed = 3 and 1/4 kg = 13/4 kg
Time taken = 3/4 minute

Rate = (13/4) kg / (3/4) minute
Rate = (13/4) รท (3/4)
Rate = 13/4 x 4/3
Rate = 13/3

Therefore, the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruit is 13/3 kg per minute.
