Answer:
14
Step-by-step explanation:
Quarter pound means 1/4 of a pound or 0.25 of a pound.
Total amount of ground beef = 3[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds = 3.5 pounds
We have to make burgers using 0.25 pound of beef in one burger from the available 3.5 pounds of beef. To calculate how many burgers can be made we have to divide 3.5 pounds by 0.25 pounds. This will give us: How many 0.25 pounds (quarter pounds) are present in 3.5 pounds
3.5/0.25 = 14
This means George can make 14 quarter pound burgers out of 3[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pounds of ground beef
