a processing machine crushes 3 and 1 over 4 kilograms of dried fruit in 3 over 4 minutes
what is the rate, in kilograms per minute, at which the machine crushes dried fruits?
To find the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruits, we can divide the amount of fruit crushed by the time taken.
Amount of fruit crushed: 3 1/4 kilograms = 13/4 kilograms
Time taken: 3/4 minutes
Rate = Amount of fruit crushed / Time taken
Rate = (13/4) / (3/4)
Rate = (13/4) * (4/3)
Rate = 13/3
Therefore, the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruits is 4 1/3 kilograms per minute.
