Answer(or question to Mentor): Happy Halloween to you to. The answer to the 1st question is 7 1/2. How I got that was that I drew a picture like this:{| |}2 1/2}
5ft{{| |}2 1/2}}Measurement of the pole above ground.
{| |}2 1/2}
1/3{----
| |}1/4}}} Measurement below ground.
------------------------------------------------------------
It is sort of rough but you can see the pillar. The 1/3 is suppose to be a little above the line but that is how I got it. Sorry about the delay my website was down.But what I am saying is that 2 1/2+ 2 1/2+ 2 1/2= 7 1/2 I need help with the 2nd question.

I like that you are using a diagram to do this problem, I know it's hard to draw and describe it over the computer. You are on the right track though. 7 1/2 feet is the hight of the pole above ground. Use this information from the pole in 2000 to answer the questions for 2002. The storm surge covered 3/4 of the stilt that was sticking out of the ground in 2002. How many feet is this? After you calculate this you can find out how many feet are dry? Let me know what you come up with.

I hope you had a chance to figure out the problems. I would have liked to hear how you did them. Unfortunately, this will be my last response for this problem and the new problem will be posted on Monday.
Let me show you what I got. Since you found that the height of the stilts above ground is 7.5 feet (5 feet=2/3 and 2.5 feet=1/3, so 5+2.5=7.5), you can use this information to solve the rest of the problem.
In 2002, the storm surge covered 3/4 of the stilt that was above ground. This means that 3/4 of the 7.5 feet were underwater. Just multiply 3/4 (.75) by 7.5 and you get 5.625 feet are underwater.
To find out how much was left dry, I just subtracted the amount that was wet (5.625) from the total height above ground (7.5) to get 1.875 feet.
I hope that this helps. I will be looking forward to helping you on the next problem.

Answer(or question to Mentor): Yes it did. The answers to number 1 & 3 are that you multiply the amount of fat, carbohydrates, and protien by the amount of caliories it takes up and I came up with 330 caloies. The 3rd probem was that you had to simplefy 126/330=63/165.

Good start on the problems. For #1 you are correct with your answer of 330 calories. You multiply like you said and then you should have added up the total number of fat calories(126), carbohydrate calories (144, and protien calories (60) to get the total of 330.
For #2 we need to find out what percentage of the RDA she ingested. To do this just divide the 330 by 2000 and you get 0.165 or 16.5%. To change a number into percent we multiply by 100.
You are also on the right track for #3. Can you change your answer into a decimal and then into a percent? I'll give you a hint that it is similar to what I did in #2.
Since you have a good start on these try the challenge problem also. I think you will like it:)

Instructor Comments: Kelly,
Glad to see that you were able to get to this assignment. Because of the computer glitch, we are allowing the students to respond 3 times, instead of just twice, so I would not give him the answer for #2 right away. I really like the first part of your second paragraph: 'For #2 we need to find out what percentage of the RDA she ingested.' but I would erase the rest and see if he can figure out what fraction to make. Also change the hint to correspond to your changes in #2.--Dr. Bowers
