Answer(or question to Mentor): The answer to problem a is 1 over 20. I figured this out by if there is 14 grams of fat and 1 gram of fat equals 9 calories you do 14 times nine and it equals 126 calories. Then if there is 36 grams of carbohydrates and 1 gram of carbohydrates is 4 calories you do 4 times 36 and it equals 144. Then if there is 15 grams of proteins and 1 gram of protein is 4 calories you do 4 times 15 and it equals 60. Then you do 126 pluse 144 pluse 60 and it equals 330 calories. Then if the daily allowance is 2000 it is 330 over 2000. Then you simplyfy it and it equals 1 over 20.

Mentor Reply: Hi Wade, thank you for sumiting your response.
The process you used for question one is correct.
Charle has ingested 330 over 2000 calories of
her daily intake. However, your simplification
of 330 over 2000 does not equals 1 over 20.
Could you please revise this step and send me
back the correct simplification? I will be waiting!
I do not know if you have yet study how to get
percentages, but can you try to find out what percent
of Charle’s daily intake she ingested? Try
problem two and the challenge question too.
If you have any question do not hesitate and write
me back. I will be waiting for your responses.

Instructor Comments: Elizabeth,
A good response, but do recall that correct grammar and spelling are important too. Can you ask someone else in the class to read over your submission? Here is a list of the things you need to fix:
1. sumiting is a typo. It should be 'submitting'
2. 'your simplification of 330 over 2000 does not equals 1 over 20.' should be 'your simplification of 330 /2000 does not equal 1 /20.'
3. 'I do not know if you have yet study how to get
percentages' should be 'I do not know if you have studied
percentages yet, but...'
4. 'If you have any question do not hesitate and write
me back.' should be: 'If you have any questions, do not hesitate to write me back.'
