Saeed bought 21 1/2 lb. of ground beef. He used 1/4 of the beef to make tacos and 2/3 of the remainder to make burgers. How many burgers did he make?

This is so confusing!?!?!
he used 1/4 * 21 1/2 = 1/4 * 43/2 = 43/8 for tacos
That left 3/4 * 21 1/2 = 129/8
Then he use 2/3 of that, or 2/3 * 129/8 = 43/4 for burgers
Unfortunately, you do not say how much beef it takes to make a burger. If they were 1/4-pounders, then he made 43 burgers.
