Answer:

You can make 22 burgers.

Explanation:

If you have 312 pounds of ground beef and burgers are 14 pounds, divide 312 by 14 ( 312 / 14). This gives you an answer of 22.28 You will have leftovers because 14 does not go into 312 perfectly. You can also check the answer by doing multiplication ( 22 * 14) which gives you 308. You cannot have another burger because 308 + 14 = 322 which is over the amount of beef you have.
