Mentor Reply: Hi Terry.
I appreciate you sending in a response for this weeks problem.
I'd like to encourage you to explain how you came up with the answers that you did as if you explained it to someone in your own classroom. Perhaps I can too understand it a bit better. I hope to be of some help, please ask me and I will more than gladly help okay?
Talk to you soon then.
Take care, Noemi

Answer(or question to Mentor): PROBLEM RATIONALE- I GOT THE ANSWER BY MULTIPLYING THE NUMBER OF GRAMS BY THE NUMBER OF CALORIES IN EACH THING: CARBS, FAT, PROTEIN.
CHALLENGE SOLUTION-75 MC NUGGETS
CHALLENGE RATIONALE- I MULTIPLIED 3 BY THE DENOMINATOR OF THE FIRST FRACTION, 1/3. THEN I MULTIPLIED THE PRODUCT BY THE NEXT DENOMINATOR AND SO ON. I ADDED THE PRODUCTS TOGETHER AND GOT 75.

Instructor Comments: Noemi,
His answer for the first question is incorrect, so state that up front (after you write something nice of course). Then I would acknowledge his attempt to explain what he did and ask him to recheck all of his figures. Also response to his explanation for the challenge. I would say more than just 'try to work backwards.' Help him find words to think about HOW to work backwards. --Dr. Bowers
