Answer(or question to Mentor): Problem Solution: 330 calories and 330/2000 is reduced to 33/200 calories of daily intake
Rationale: I multiplyed 14 grams of fat by 9 calories in one gram of fat and got 126 calories. Then I multiplyed 36 grams of carbohydrates by 4 calories in one gram of carbohydrate and got 144 calories. Next I multiplyed 15 grams of protein by 4 calories in one gram of protein and got 60 calories. Then i added them together to get 330 calories. Finally I put 330 calories over 2000 daily calories and got 330/2000 then I reduced it to get 33/200

Thank you for your response. You got correct part one of the problem. However, you did not answered part two. Part two is asking what percent of the cheeseburger is fat. In addition, I have a request for you; can you change 33/200 into a decimal or percentage? I hope to hear from you soon.
Good look

Answer(or question to Mentor): Challenge Solution: the answer is 36 nuggets
Challenge Rationale: I got this answer by doing trial and error. i just plugged in numbers and came up with the answer. I finally got to 36 1/3 of that is 12 i sebtracted 12 from 36 and came up with 24. Next i found 3/4 of 24 which is 18 i then did the same thing by subtracting 18 from 24 and gettng the answer of 6. Finally i found 1/2 of 6 and came up with 3 i then subtracted 3 from 6 and got 3 i then knew the answer was 36.
