Identify the given data: the person's weight is 50 kg, and the standard Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day.
Write down the formula for calculating the RDA for protein intake: \(\text{Protein intake (g/day)} = 0.8 \times \text{body weight (kg)}\).
Substitute the given body weight into the formula: \(\text{Protein intake} = 0.8 \times 50\).
Perform the multiplication to find the protein intake in grams per day (do not calculate the final number here, just set up the expression).
Interpret the result as the recommended protein intake in grams per day for the 50 kg adult.
