Hello. This question is incomplete. The complete question is:
"Reggie is 72 inches tall and weighs 130 pounds. Use the formula below to answer the question about his weight. BMI = Weight (in pounds) × 703 / [Height (in inches)]²
Which BMI category does Reggie fall into?
A.26.5, overweight
, B.17.6, underweight
, C.19.7, appropriate weight"
Answer:
B.17.6, underweight
Explanation:
BMI stands for Body Mass Index and is a measure of each person's weight, being a relationship between the person's mass and their height squared. From this calculation it is possible to assess whether the person has an ideal weight or is underweight or overweight. Both below and overweight levels may pose health risks to the individual.
Using the formula shown in the above question we can calculate Reggie's BMI as follows:
(130) x703 / (72x72) = 17.62
According to BMI Regie is underweight.
