The Heller family is having a cookout. To be sure that they have enough food, they plan to have 0.5 pound of hamburger for each adult and 0.25 pound for each child. There will be 15 children at the cookout. If they buy 10 pounds of hamburger, what is the maximum number of adults they expect?

15 times .25 or 1/4
(1lbs=4 kids, 15 divided by 4= 3.75)
6.25 divided by .5 is over 12
so 12 adults
