Strategies
This exercise is easy to get accuracy because numbers are small and easy to work with. The speed badges are medium because you do need to be patient and make sure you read the problem correctly so that you can see if you want total, amount left, or amount eaten/performed.


 * 1) Some of the problems can be related directly to the given information because the fraction eaten has the same numerator as the number eaten. It would be easy to write problems that do not rely on this fact, however, so read carefully.
