Here let x = inches containing 1120 calories of chocolates

Therefore

37∗180=x1120

or x=6inches.

Therefore number of helpings for 6 inches = 73∗6= 14 helping

Isn't the information about inches superfluous? I mean we know an helping is 3/7 long and it has 80 calories but the length has nothing to do with calories. Then, since Bubba has consumed 1120 calories, it has consumed 112080=14 helpings
