Answer: WorldCom

Explanation:

The WorldCom scandal of 2002 was the worst one in U.S. history and led to shareholders losing over $30 billion as a result of share prices falling drastically when it was revealed that the company had been making fraudulent accounting entries to look successful when it fact it had been losing money.

Betty Vinson was the company's Director of Corporate Reporting and her boss, CEO Bernie Ebbers, pressured her into making fraudulent entries because it was said that he "didn't want to disappoint Wall Street". This scandal was one of those that directly led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act being passed.

lianna [129]

Answer:

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²

According to BMI, this patient is diagnosed as Obese.

Explanation:

BMI known as body mass index is taken from a person height and weight. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. BMI is usually expressed in kg/m².

Mathematically ,

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

we have to convert the weight and the height to the required units.

converting pounds to kg

2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram

210 pounds = ?

cross multiply

210/2.2 = 95.50 kilograms

converting foot to inches and to meter.

1 foot = 12 inches

5 foot = ?

12 × 5 = 60 inches

60 inches + 9 inches = 69 inches

1 inches = 0.0254 meters

69 inches = ?

69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526  meters

using the formula

BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)

BMI = 95.50/(1.75)²

BMI = 95.50/3.0625   kg/m²

BMI = 31.1836734694  kg/m²

BMI = 31.18 kg/m²
