Explanation:

According to  BMI formula in the English (Avoirdupois) system for weight  in pounds, and height in inches, we have that

BMI = 703 x (weight/(height)2) and the scale is given as

9.0 to 18.5 underweight

18.6 to 24.9 normal

25.0 29.9 overweight

30.0 and Above Obese, Using this information, we can then solve as

1)For 77 inches and 169lbs

BMI=  703 X (169 / (77)^2= 20.03  --- Normal

2)68inches, 171lbs

BMI=  703 X (171/ 68)^2=  25.99= 26--Overweight

3)60 inches, 82lbs

BMI=  703 X (82/60^2)= 16.01---- Underweight

4)72 inches, 191lbs

BMI=  703 X(191/ 72^2) = 25.9=26-----Overweight

5)72 inches 118lbs

BMI=  703 X(118/72^2)=16---Underweight

6)65 inches, 120lbs

BMI=  703 X(120/65^2)=19.9=20---normal

7)67 inches  204.5 lbs

BMI=  703 X(204.5/67^2)= 32---- obese

8).60 inches 164 lbs

BMI=  703 X(164/ 60^2)= 32.02=32---Obese
