Fun with Fractions

Math was never our strongest subject in school, and working with fractions was particularly challenging.  This Craigslist ad reminds us of those frustrating problems: 
Q:  Jim has an old field in Alabama littered with 21 and 1/2 VW Karmann Ghias, how many complete Karman Ghais can Jim build?
A:  Zero.  That’s why Jim Posted his “collection” on Craigslist
Actually this problem is more appropriate for Chemistry class- check out all of that iron(III) oxide
Fe2O3·nH2O and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH),
Fe(OH)3)  

Original Ad Text:

We have 21 and a half VW Karman Ghias all for $5000!!!
Limited offer. A few pictures are here but I will be uploading all of the
