Answer:

1. 0.8 grams

2. 51 grams

Explanation:

a. The recommended daily allowance of protein for every individual per kilogram of healthy body weight is 0.8grams. The same standard applies to Erin.

b. The recommended daily protein requirement is obtained by multiplying the body weight (in kilograms) to the Protein RDA.

For Erin, this will mean converting her weight in pounds to kilograms.

141 pounds = 63.9565kg

Recommended daily protein requirement equals

63.9565 kg * 0.8 grams

= 51.16grams approximately,

51 grams.
