Question

the regions in the graph indicate whether a person is obese, overweight, borderline overweight, normal weight, or underweight. in the graph, the horizontal axis shows age, and the vertical axis shows body - mass index (bmi), computed using the following formula. bmi = \frac{703w}{h^{2}} the variable w represents weight, in pounds. the variable h represents height, in inches. complete parts a and b. a. using the formula for bmi, find a mans bmi if he is 23 years old, 75 inches tall, and weighs 196 pounds. his bmi is . (round to one decimal place as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify values

Given $W = 196$ pounds and $H=75$ inches.

Step2: Substitute into formula

Substitute into $BMI=\frac{703W}{H^{2}}$, we get $BMI=\frac{703\times196}{75^{2}}$.
First, calculate $703\times196 = 703\times(200 - 4)=703\times200-703\times4=140600 - 2812 = 137788$.
Then, calculate $75^{2}=75\times75 = 5625$.
So, $BMI=\frac{137788}{5625}\approx24.5$.

Answer:

$24.5$
