Explanation:

Step1: Convert units

1 inch = 0.0254 m, 1 pound = 0.453592 kg. Laura: height $h = 65\times0.0254= 1.651$ m, weight $w = 145\times0.453592 = 65.77084$ kg. Deepak: height $h = 71\times0.0254 = 1.8034$ m, weight $w = 178\times0.453592=80.739376$ kg.

Step2: Calculate BMI

BMI formula is $BMI=\frac{w}{h^{2}}$. Laura: $BMI=\frac{65.77084}{1.651^{2}}\approx24.3$. Deepak: $BMI=\frac{80.739376}{1.8034^{2}}\approx24.8$.
