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.
