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.

xeze [42]

Answer:

9 fruit baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Steve sold 36 fruit baskets for a school fundraiser.

Evie sold 25% of the number of baskets that Steve sold.

<u>Question asked:</u>

How many fruit baskets did Evie sell?

Thus, 9 fruit baskets sold by Evie.

Solve for x.<br> I was sure the answer was 2?<br> Please show me the breakdown. THX
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

x = 8 and y = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are congruent:

Angle PQR = EFG

6y + x = 68

Segment QR = FG

2x - 4 = 12

Solving that:

2x - 4 = 12

2x = 16

x = 8

Replacing x in 6y + x =68

6y + 8 = 68

6y = 60

y = 10
