Solved: Body-mass index, or BMI, takes both weight and height into account when
Chapter 6, Problem 35(choose chapter or problem)
Body-mass index, or BMI, takes both weight and height into account when assessing whether an individual is underweight or overweight. BMI varies directly as ones weight, in pounds, and inversely as the square of ones height, in inches. In adults, normal values for the BMI are between 20 and 25, inclusive. Values below 20 indicate that an individual is underweight and values above 30 indicate that an individual is obese. A person who weighs 180 pounds and is 5 feet, or 60 inches, tall has a BMI of 35.15. What is the BMI, to the nearest tenth, for a 170 pound person who is 5 feet 10 inches tall. Is this person overweight?
