The average daily iron intake for 12-year-olds is 15.1 milligrams. Fernando typically consumes 11.8 milligrams of iron in his breakfast cereal and 3.6 milligrams of iron from a protein bar. If he eats a bowl of cereal and two protein bars today, how many milligrams over the average daily intake for iron will Fernando's intake be?

the answer would be 3.9 bc u add 11.8 and 7.2 (times 3.6 by 2) which equals 19 and 19-15.1=3.9
