    By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

    Explanation:

    Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

    Given that,

    Current feed rate of a machine is 5.921 IPM

    Final feed rate of the machine is 6.088 IPM

    To find,

    Increase in feed rate

    Solution,

    We need to find the increase in feed rate of the machine. It is calculated simply by subtracting final feed rate to the initial feed rate as:

    Increase in feed rate = 6.088 IPM - 5.921 IPM

    Increase in feed rate = 0.167 IPM

    or

    Increase in feed rate = 16.7 %

    So, the increase in feed rate of the machine is 0.167 IPM or 16.7 %
