A very "weighty" problem! Do you know how to work fractions?

Here is a fun problem from The Basic Mathematics Blog.

Judy was trying to lose weight. she weighed 180 pounds. So she ran for 4/2 hours on sunday and lost 4/2 pounds. She was so happy with the results she decided to run for 9/3 hours the next day and she lost 6/2 pounds. She ran again the next week for 8/2 hours and she lost 8/2 pounds.

How many hours did she run, and how much weight did she lose?

How much would Judy weigh now?
