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