Answer 2

3 kg chocolates per minute.

Explanation:

It is given that factory machine produces 5/10 kilograms of chocolate every 1/6 minutes.

Chocolate = 5/10 kg

Time = 1/6 minute

We need to find the rate.

`Rate=((5)/(10))/((1)/(6))`

It can be rewritten as

`Rate=(5)/(10)* (6)/(1)`

`Rate=3`

Therefore, the machine produce 3kg chocolate per minute.
