Question

39 elección múltiple 1 punto a 16 year old male weighs 160 lbs. and is 72\ tall. what is his bmi? 21.69 30.21 19.81 15.45

Explanation:

Step1: Convert height from inches to meters

1 inch = 0.0254 meters, so 72 inches = \(72\times0.0254 = 1.8288\) meters.

Step2: Use the BMI formula \(BMI=\frac{weight(lbs)\times703}{height(inches)^2}\)

Substitute weight = 160 lbs and height = 72 inches into the formula: \(BMI=\frac{160\times703}{72^2}\)
First calculate \(72^2 = 5184\), then \(160\times703 = 112480\)
So \(BMI=\frac{112480}{5184}\approx21.69\)

Answer:

21.69
