Answer: 47.87 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

The protein is one of the main component of the body as it helps in the main functions of the body.

The Recommended Dietary allowances for protein is around 0.8 grams of protein per kilograms of the body weight.

This amount of protein is required by the body in order to work properly. The person here is 132 pounds which means 59 kilograms and 87 grams.

Hence, the amount of protein required is 59.87*0.8 =47.87 grams of protein.
