1) BMI calculation
Subject A B C
Age 57 30 18
Gender Male Male Male
heigth 70 in 72 in 68
70 * 2.54 = 177.8cm 72*2.54=182.88cm 68*2.54=172.72 cm
weight 165 lb 190 lb 185 lb
165/2.2046=74.8kg 190/2.2046=86.2kg 185/2.2046=83.9kg
BMI 74.8*10,000 86.2*10,000 83.9*10,000
----------------- = 23.7 ----------------- = 25.8 ----------------- = 28.1
(177.8)^2 (182.88)^2 (172.72)^2
2) Weight status
Subject A: 18.5 ≤ 23.7 ≤ 24.9 => Considered Ideal
Subject B: 20.5 ≤ 25.8 ≤ 29.9 => Considered Overweight
Subject C: 20.5 ≤ 28.1 ≤ 29.9 => Considered Obese
Ideal weight range
Inequality
w * 10,000 18.5*h^2 24.9*h^2
18.5 ≤ --------------- ≤ 24.9 => ------------- ≤ w ≤ -------------
h^2 10,000 10,000
Subject A: h = 177.8 cm =>
18.5*(177.8)^2 24.9*(177.8)^2
------------------- ≤ w ≤ ---------------------
10,000 10,000
58.5 kg ≤ w ≤ 78.7
Subject B: h = 182.88 cm
18.5*(182.88)^2 24.9*(182.88)^2
------------------- ≤ w ≤ ------------------------
10,000 10,000
61.9 kg ≤ w ≤ 83.3
Subject C:
18.5*(172.72)^2 24.9*(172.72)^2
--------------------- ≤ w ≤ ---------------------
10,000 10,000
55.2 kg ≤ w ≤ 74.3 kg
3) Is BMI an appropiate measure of health?
Pros:
* it is quick and easy to calculate, so it provides a prompt measure.
Cons:
* It is not accurate.
* It leaves out specific conditions of the person: genetic and fitness.
I like that it provides a standardization to compare the status of different persons based on an objective measure, but you need to include other factors: age, gender, build, fat %, activities performed, among others. So, I am in favor of using it only like a factor but you need to use other additional measures.
Answer:
30:15 (simplified is 2:1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Out of the 45 times Eric flipped a coin, 30 of them landed on heads. Tails is the the only other probable occurance, so since we know that there are 15 trials left, this means that the coin landed on tails 15 times. This would give a heads to tails ratio of 30:15, but the simplified ratio would be 2:1, because that's the smallest it can be divided evenly.
45-30=15
30:15=2:1
Answer:
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
A <em>system of linear equations</em> is a set of (linear) equations that have more than one unknown. The unknowns appear in several of the equations, but not necessarily in all of them. What these equations do is relate the unknowns to each other.
We need to find the solution of the follow equations:
and 
First, we divided by 2 the equation
We obtain 
Equating both equations
Let's clear x
Substituting the value of x in the second equation
.
perimeter is 17 +17 +8 + 8 = 50 feet
area = 17 x 8 = 136 square feet
cost = 136 x $3.50 = $476.00
