A process machine crushes 3 and 1/4 kg of dried fruits in 304 minutes what is the rate in kilograms per minute at which the machine crushes dry fruits a 3 over 13 b 16 over 39 c two holes 7/16 D 4 hole one over three
To find the rate at which the machine crushes dry fruits in kilograms per minute, divide the total amount of fruits crushed by the total time taken:
Rate = Amount of fruits crushed / Time taken
Amount of fruits crushed = 3 1/4 kg = 3.25 kg
Time taken = 304 minutes
Rate = 3.25 kg / 304 minutes
= 0.0107 kg/min
Convert this rate to a fraction:
0.0107 = 107 / 10000
= 107 / 10000
The correct answer is:
b) 107/10000 or 16/39
U sure
Let's go through the calculation again:
Amount of fruits crushed: 3 1/4 kg = 3.25 kg
Time taken: 304 minutes
Rate = 3.25 kg / 304 minutes
= 0.0107 kg/min
To simplify 0.0107 kg/min to a fraction, we multiply by 1000 to get rid of the decimal:
0.0107 * 1000 = 10.7
Therefore, the rate in kilograms per minute at which the machine crushes dry fruits is 10.7 kg/min.
This implies that the actual correct answer is not provided in the options. The closest fraction to 10.7/1 would be 107/10.
