Answer(or question to Mentor): the first answer is 330/2000. the second answer is 14/65.
i got the first answer by doing 9x14 + 36x4 + 15x4
126 + 144 + 60= 330 then i put it over 2000 and got 300/2000
i got the second answer by adding the 14 grams of fat + the 36 grams +the 15 grams and got 65. then i put the fat over the total to get the fraction 14/65

Mentor Reply: Hi Scott,
Good start on the problems. You are on the right track with #1. Now can you change your answer into a decimal and then a percent? If not let me know and I can give you some hints.
#2 is asking for the amount of the burger that is fat only. You took the amount of fat, carbohydrates and protein. Try looking at just the amount of fat calories that you got in #1 out of the total number of calories.
Look at the problem again with my suggestions and let me know what you get. The challenge problem is fun. Try it, I think you will like it also.
