A processing machine crushes 3 1/4 kilograms of dried fruit in 3/4 minute what is the rate in kilograms per minute at which the machine crushes dried fruit give your answer in fraction form
To find the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruit in kilograms per minute, we can divide the amount of fruit crushed by the time it took to crush it:
Rate = Amount crushed / Time
Amount crushed = 3 1/4 kilograms = 13/4 kilograms
Time = 3/4 minute
Rate = (13/4) kilograms / (3/4) minute
Rate = (13/4) / (3/4)
Rate = (13/4) * (4/3)
Rate = 13/3
Therefore, the rate at which the machine crushes dried fruit is 13/3 kilograms per minute.
