Answer(or question to Mentor): Hello Petra! Hi Petra!
I got 23/200 for the first part and 63/115 for the second part.
To get this i multiplied the fat, carboydrates, and protien by there number of caloreis per gram. Then i added all my answers together and put it over 2000 to form a fraction. Then i simply reduced.
For my second answer I put the total number of fat calories over the total number of calories in the burger and reduced.

Hello Lindsey!

Thanks for responding. Your rationale for the problem of the week is correct but your answers are incorrect. I’m not sure if there was a reducing error or a calculation error. In your next response, could you recalculate your answers and send me the actual calculations in your rationale? Then I will be able help you by seeing where the problem is.

I can’t wait to hear back from you. Take care.

P.S. After you recalculate, I think you should try the challenge problem. Talk to you soon.
