multiple choice question
andy weighs 220 pounds and is 6 feet tall. his bmi would be about:
o 24
o 35
o 25
o 30

Explanation:

Step1: Convert units

1 pound = 0.453592 kg, so 220 pounds = 220×0.453592 = 99.79024 kg. 1 foot = 0.3048 m, so 6 feet = 6×0.3048 = 1.8288 m.

Step2: Calculate BMI

BMI formula is $BMI=\frac{weight(kg)}{height(m)^2}$. Substitute weight = 99.79024 kg and height = 1.8288 m into the formula: $BMI=\frac{99.79024}{1.8288^2}=\frac{99.79024}{3.34458944}\approx 29.84\approx 30$.

Answer:

D. 30
