You are planning a summer cookout and decide to serve quarter-pound hamburgers. if you buy 5 and a 1/2 pounds of hamburger meat, how many burgers can you make? how would i solve this?

Well, namely, you've got 5 and 1/2 lbs of meat, and each burger will be 1/4 lb, so how many times 1/4 goes into 5 and 1/2?

let's first make the 5 and 1/2 mixed fraction to "improper" and divide them both.



don't forget the bbq sauce.
