April,
Please write a note to this explaining that yes, the actual question refers only to 2002, but she needs to figure out how high the storm surged in 2000 to help her get the final answer.

Mentor Reply: Hello Sara. The question only refers to 2002, but you need to use the information about 2000 to help you figure out the answer. I used a picture to help me figure it out. I hope to hear from you soon.

Instructor Comments: April,
You might want to open with a friendly, "Thanks for submitting an answer." comment. Then answer her question, and, again, based on her question, I think you might want to give a bit more of an elaborated hint. Maybe even copy and paste what you wrote to Brianna.

I used pictures to find my answer,but I need your help
on something. I try to find a denominator to fit both denominators. When I get that, i make the problems 1/3 into 4/12,and I made the 3/4 into 9/12,so you could add them.When I get my answer,I cant seem to put it into feet. Maybe you could help me?

Mentor Reply: Hi Sara, thanks for submitting an answer. Draw two diagrams, one for 2000 and one for 2002. The 2000 diagram will be labeled showing 1/4 of the pole below ground, so 3/4 of the pole above ground. Of the 3/4 of the pole above ground, 1/3 is covered with water. The 2/3 of the pole not covered by water is equal to 5 feet. Try solving the problem one more time and tell me what you think. April

Mentor Reply: Hi Sara and how are you? You do use multiplication in this problem. You know there are 14 grams of fat, and there are 9 calories in each gram of fat. You first need to find out how many calories are in 14 grams of fat. Once you figure this out, find out how many calories are from the carbohydrates and the protein. Add up all the calories from the fat, carbohydrates, and protein and then put this sum over 2000. Let me know if you need anything else and I look forward to reading your response soon. April
