Answer:
Option #1 (59 hamburger patties)
Explanation:
First, add 6 1/4 and 8 1/2 to get the total amount of pounds you have.
You find a common denominator to add. In this case, the common denominator would be 4.
8 1/2 will become 8 2/4
6 1/4 + 8 2/4 = 14 3/4
Now we divide this number by 1/4
(14 3/4)/(1/4) =
59/4 * 4/1 =
236/4 = 59
