A processing machine crushes 3 1/4 kilograms of dry fruits in 3/4 minute. What is the rate, in kilograms per minute, at which the machine crushes dry fruit?
A. 3/13
B. 16/39
C. 2 7/16
D. 4 1/3..
To find the rate at which the machine crushes dry fruit in kilograms per minute, we need to divide the amount of dry fruit crushed by the time taken.
3 1/4 kilograms of dry fruits = 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 dry fruit is 4 1/3, which is option D.
u sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it:
To find the rate at which the machine crushes dry fruit in kilograms per minute, we need to divide the amount of dry fruit crushed by the time taken.
3 1/4 kilograms of dry fruits = 13/4 kilograms
3/4 minute
Rate = (13/4) / (3/4)
Rate = (13/4) / (3/4)
Rate = (13/4) * (4/3)
Rate = 13/3
Therefore, the rate at which the machine crushes dry fruit is 13/3, which is equivalent to 4 and 1/3 kilograms per minute. So, the correct answer is:
D. 4 1/3
