To solve this problem, we'll divide the total amount of beef Imani has by the weight of each burger.

Let's start with the total beef amount Imani has, which is 16 pounds.

Then, we have the weight of a single burger, which is 1/4 pound.

If we wish to know how many 1/4 pound burgers we can make out of 16 pounds of beef, we'll divide the total beef weight by the weight of one burger.

That is 16 (total beef in pounds) divided by 1/4 (weight of one burger in pounds).

Performing this division gives us 64.

So, Imani can make 64 quarter-pound burgers with her 16 pounds of beef.
