For this case we propose a rule of three, and thus find the grams of medication.
150lb -----------> 24g
120lb -----------> x
Where the variable "x" represents the grams of medicine that a 120-pound woman should receive
[tex]x = \frac {120 * 24} {150}\\x = 19.2[/tex]
Thus, a woman of 120 pounds should receive 19.2 grams of medication.
Answer:
19.2 grams
