How many quarter pound burgers can george make out of 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef ?
lana [24]
Assuming that there is no wastage of beef. 

Note that 3 1/2 = 7/2 = 14/4 = 14 * 1/4 
This means that we can have 14 sets of quarter pound beef. 

This in turn means that George can make 14 quarter pound burgers.
