    Ok assuming that he has 1 larger orange that weighs 3 and 1/2 pound

    3 and 1/2=2/2+2/2+2/2+1/2=7/2

    divide into 7 (george+6 feriends) parts means multiply by 1/7

    7/2 divided into 6 parts=7/2 times 1/4=7/14=1/2

    each person gets 1/2 lb orange

    if each person leaves 1 and 1/2 oz how much was not eaten

    each orange=1/2 lb=1/2 times 16=8oz

    total=8oz

    eaten=?

    left=1 and 1/2oz

    8=?+1 and 1/2

    subtraft 1 and 1/2

    6 and 1/2=?

    6 and 1/2 oz was eaten (1 and 1/2 oz was not eaten)

    ok

    each person eats 1/2 lb oranges

    each person eats 6 and 1/2 oz (leaves behind 1 and 1/2 oz)
