The latest guidelines, which apply to both men and women, give healthy weight ranges, rather than specific weights, for your height. The further you are above the upper limit of your range, the greater are the risks of developing weight-related health problems. The bar graph shows these ranges for various heights for people between the ages of 19 and 34, inclusive.
The mathematical model
\(\frac{W}{2}-3 H=53\)
describes a weight, W, in pounds, that lies within the healthy weight range for a person whose height is H inches over 5 feet. Use this information to solve Exercises 105–106.
Use the formula to find a healthy weight for a person whose height is 6'0". (Hint: H = 12 because this person’s height is 12 inches over 5 feet.) How many pounds is this healthy weight below the upper end of the range shown by the bar graph at the bottom of the previous column?
