QuestionFind the weight range $w$ (to the nearest pound) for a healthful BMI (19-25) at heights: (a) 72 in, (b) 75 in, (c) 78 in using $\mathrm{BMI}=\frac{704 \times(\text { weight })}{(\text { height })^{2}}$.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the weight range for a height of78 in.
$$\text { weight in pounds } = \frac{19 \times (78)^{2}}{704} =148 \, \text{pounds}$$$$\text { weight in pounds } = \frac{25 \times (78)^{2}}{704} =196 \, \text{pounds}$$So, the weight range for a healthful BMI for each height is(a)72 in.136 -180 pounds(b)75 in.142 -188 pounds(c)78 in.148 -196 pounds
