The maximum number of grams of fat (F) that should be in a diet varies directly as a person's weight (w).
A person weighing 129 lb should have no more than 86 g of fat per day.
What is the maximum daily fat intake for a person weighing 114 lb?
:
Write a ratio equation: let x = 114 lb person fat max
129%2F114 = 86%2Fx
Cross multiply
129x = 114 * 86
129x = 9804
x = 9804%2F129
x = 76 grams of the good stuff
