Kudos for correct solution.

Here let x = inches containing 1120 calories of chocolates

Therefore

$$\frac{3}{7} * \frac{1}{80}= \frac{x}{1120}$$

or $$x = 6$$inches.

Therefore number of helpings for 6 inches = $$\frac{7}{3} * 6$$= 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 $$\frac{1120}{80} = 14$$ helpings

Yes Both ways are correct.
