Answer(or question to Mentor): For number 1 it is 330 calories because you do 9 times 14 because there is 9 calories in 1 gram of fat and there are 14 grams of fat. You get 126. Then you do the other two like that also and you get 144 and 60. Then add them together and you get 330.
For number 2 it is 66 over 400 because you know that it is 330 over 2000 at first because if she ate the burger it would be 330 calories and she can only have 2000 per day so then you would reduce3 it and get 66 over 400.
For number 3 it is 7 over 50 because you know there is 14 grams of fat and out of 100 it would be 14 over 100 and then you reduce and get 7 over 50.

Mentor Reply: Dear Tara,
You have a good explanation of what you did and your answers to parts one and two are correct, however part three is not. For number two try to reduce the fraction 66/400 more. And if you know how to change fractions into percents give it a try. For part 3 of the problem you are trying to find the fraction of fat calories not fat grams.
Good luck.

After you try part 3 try to do the challenge problem. Good luck.
