Answer(or question to Mentor): Hey Noemi, its me KT again. Lets just see if I can get the problem right on the first try. OK, here goes, for number one it asks what fraction of her daily intake has she now ingested. I came up with 330/1000 calories in which reduces to 6/250 calories. Now on number two it asks what fraction of the cheeseburger is fat? I got that 126/330 was fat, but I had to reduce it to 7/11 calories. CHALLENGE: for the challenge I got 72 nuggets. I got this by starting with 3 and going up. If Miles ate half of what was left before 3 then you would have to double 3, which you get 6. Before Miles, Juan ate ¾ of what was left so you would multiply 6 by 4 and get 24. Before Juan, Ralph ate 1/3 of what was in the bucket so you would multiply 24 by 3 and get 72.
