Answer : The number of grams of gold Bob take from the aliens will be 0.5.

Explanation :

As we are given that:

1 zygot = 3 trigots

3 trigots = 2 bigots

4 bigots = 1 gram gold

Now we have to determine the number of grams of gold Bob take from the aliens.

The number of grams of gold Bob take from the aliens will be equal to:


\frac{1\text{ zygot}}{1}* \frac{3\text{ trigots }}{1\text{ zygot}}* \frac{2\text{ bigots }}{3\text{ trigots }}* \frac{2\text{ gram gold}}{4\text{ bigots }}

=
(6)/(12) gram gold

=
(1)/(2) gram gold

= 0.5 gram gold

Hence, the number of grams of gold Bob take from the aliens will be 0.5.
