To calculate Javiette's daily protein needs based on her weight and the recommended protein intake, we first need to convert her weight from pounds to kilograms.
1. Convert weight from pounds to kilograms:
\[
\text{Weight in kg} = \frac{\text{Weight in lbs}}{2.20462}
\]
\[
\text{Weight in kg} = \frac{130}{2.20462} \approx 59.0 \text{ kg}
\]
2. Calculate protein needs:
\[
\text{Protein needs} = 1.2 \, \text{g/kg} \times \text{Weight in kg}
\]
\[
\text{Protein needs} = 1.2 \, \text{g/kg} \times 59.0 \, \text{kg} \approx 70.8 \, \text{g}
\]
Therefore, Javiette should consume approximately **71 g** of protein daily.
