With a problem like this, set up a proportion (like when making lemonade from a mix).


\frac{weight}{medicine} = \frac{weight}{medicine} is our proportion.


We fill in the the two weights and the 24 grams of medicine in the proportion and solve for the fourth piece not there.


\frac{150}{24} =\frac{120}{M}


We shorten medicine to M and we solve for M by cross multiplying.


150M = 2880


M = \frac{2880}{150} = 19.2 grams


The woman should get 19.2 grams of medicine.
