Answer(or question to Mentor): For the answer to number one I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I do not understand what it is asking. For the 2nd question I think the answer is 60%. I multiplied 15 times 4 or I could of added 15 4 times. I did this because well I knew not to subtract or divide. I also knew that it was asking how much fat that there was in all. And dividing and subtracting just take away and most of the time in all means add or multiply.

Mentor Reply: Hi Sarah. Thank you for responding to the current problem. Here are a few hints to help you along. For number one, you will need to convert each of the grams into calories, based on how many calories each gram has. From there, you can solve number one. For number 2, you will take those total calories from number one, and then divide them by the total RDA. And for number three, take the total fat calories and divide them by the number of calories in the burger. These hints should help you with the solutions. Did you try the challenge problem. Good luck, Tina.

Instructor Comments: Tina-- Good work. It is a tough call and I think, by now, you know your student. In some cases, I would say that you gave her some pretty direct hints, but I guess that is necessary in this case? I'll leave that up to your judgement.--Dr. Bowers
