Given:
grams of fat : 34 grams TO weight of woman : 102 pounds
grams of fat : ? TO weight of woman : 180 pounds

This is a proportion problem: 34 grams to 102 pounds.

We first have to convert a unit of measure to another to maintain uniformity of measure. let us convert pounds to grams:

102 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 46,266.384 grams
180 pounds * 453.592 grams / pound = 81,646.560 grams

34 grams to 46,266.384 grams = x grams to 81,646.560 grams

proportion: a:b = c:d where ad = bc

34 grams * 81,646.560 grams = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² = x * 46,266.384 grams
2,775,983.04 grams² ÷ 46,266.384 grams = x
60 grams = x 

A woman weighing 180 pounds should eat 60 grams of fat to maintain her weight.

If you were to randomly survey 1,000 people at a local grocery store about their use of corrective lenses, would this be a valid
gayaneshka [121]
You would probably need a little larger sample of people because not all people wear corrective lenses. In almost any other survey, this would be a scientist’s dream, but in this one, you’d need it to be a little bigger.

Dennis_Churaev [7]
Always remember that percent means "out of 100". That means the 40%=40/100=.4
so 40% of 120 is equivalent to .4(120)=48

What is the answer to the main problem
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

x-int: (3, 0)

y-int: (0, -1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept is the x-value when y = 0

y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0

Step 1: Find x-intercept

0 = (x - 3)/2

0 = x - 3

x = 3

(3, 0)

Step 2: Find y-intercept

y = (0 - 3)/2

y = -3/2

(0, -1.5)
