Hunter has 2
1
2
 hours to spend at Wally's Game World. He spends 
1
4
 of an hour playing arcade games, and he spends the rest of the time playing miniature golf with his friends. If each round of golf takes 
3
4
 of an hour, how many rounds does Hunter play

Let's break down the problem step by step.

1. **Total time Hunter has**:  
   Hunter has 2 \(\frac{1}{2}\) hours, which can be converted to an improper fraction:
   \[
   2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \text{ hours}
   \]

2. **Time spent playing arcade games**:  
   Hunter spends \(\frac{1}{4}\) of an hour playing arcade games.

3. **Time left for playing miniature golf**:  
   To find the time left for miniature golf, subtract the time spent on arcade games from the total time:
   \[
   \text{Time left} = \frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{4}
   \]
   To subtract these fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator for 2 and 4 is 4, so:
   \[
   \frac{5}{2} = \frac{10}{4}
   \]
   Now subtract:
   \[
   \text{Time left} = \frac{10}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \text{ hours}
   \]

4. **Time per round of golf**:  
   Each round of miniature golf takes \(\frac{3}{4}\) of an hour.

5. **Number of rounds Hunter can play**:  
   To find out how many rounds Hunter can play, divide the total time left by the time it takes to play one round:
   \[
   \text{Number of rounds} = \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{9}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{9 \times 4}{4 \times 3} = \frac{36}{12} = 3
   \]

So, Hunter can play **3 rounds** of miniature golf.
