Question

how do you calculate adult bmi?
multiple choice
a persons age in years divided by their weight squared.
a persons weight divided by their height squared.
a persons height divided by the square root of their weight
a persons weight divided by their age in years.

Explanation:

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. The formula for calculating BMI is \(BMI=\frac{weight\ (kg)}{height\ (m)^2}\), which means a person's weight divided by their height squared. Age is not a factor in the BMI formula, so options involving age (A and D) are incorrect. Option C has the wrong relationship between height and weight.

Answer:

B. A person’s weight divided by their height squared.
