Answer:
We know that:
1 quarter pound = 0.25 of a pound.
Give that:
Total amount of ground beef = [tex]3\frac{1}{2} = 3.5[/tex] pound
From 3.5 pound of beef we have to make burgers using 0.25 pound of beef in one burger
We have to find how many burgers can be made:
We have to divide 3.5 pound by 0.25 pound
i.e,
[tex]\frac{3.5}{0.25} = 14[/tex]
⇒14 quarter pounds burger can be made.
Therefore, 14 quarter pound burgers can George make out of 3 1/2 pounds of ground beef
