    19.2 grams

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assuming it is a straight proportion, then the givens are

    w1 = 150 pounds

    m1 = 24 grams

    w2 = 120 pounds

    m2 = x

    m = medication amount.

    w = weight

    Equation

    m1/w1 = m2/w2

    Solution

    24/150 = x / 120 Multiply both sides by 120

    24 * 120/150 = x 120 / 120

    2880/150 = x Do the division

    19.2 grams = x The amount the 120 pound woman should receive.
