In 60 minutes, it washes = 1350
in 1 min, it is = 1350/60 = 22.5
So, In 16 min, it would be: 22.5 * 16 = 360

In 1 hour, 16 minutes, it would be: 1350 + 360 = 1710

In short, Your Answer would be 1710 dishes

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1710

Explanation:

Given,

The dishwasher cleans 1350 dishes in 1 hour,

That is, the number of cleaned dishes in 1 hour = 1350,

⇒ the number of cleaned dishes in 60 minutes = 1350 ( ∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes )

⇒ the number of cleaned dishes in 1 minute =
(1350)/(60) = 22.5,

So, the number of dishes cleaned in 16 minutes = 16 × dishes cleaned in 1 minute

= 16 × 22.5

= 360

Therefore, the total cleaned dishes in 1 hour 16 minutes = 1350 + 360 = 1710
