Explanation:

Step1: Identify values for formula

$W = 238$, $H=78$

Step2: Substitute values into BMI formula

$BMI=\frac{703\times238}{78^{2}}$

Step3: Calculate numerator

$703\times238 = 167314$

Step4: Calculate denominator

$78^{2}=6084$

Step5: Calculate BMI

$BMI=\frac{167314}{6084}\approx27.5$
