Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The weight of the child is38 kg. The height of the child is151 cm3. The formula for BMI (Body Mass Index) is \frac{weight(kg)}{height(m)^}

STEP 2

First, we need to convert the height from centimeters to meters, as the BMI formula uses height in meters. We can do this by dividing the height in centimeters by100.
Height(m)=Height(cm)100Height(m) = \frac{Height(cm)}{100}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the height in centimeters to calculate the height in meters.
Height(m)=151cm100Height(m) = \frac{151 cm}{100}

STEP 4

Calculate the height in meters.
Height(m)=151100=1.51mHeight(m) = \frac{151}{100} =1.51 m

STEP 5

Now that we have the height in meters, we can use the BMI formula to calculate the BMI.BMI=Weight(kg)Height(m)2BMI = \frac{Weight(kg)}{Height(m)^2}

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the weight and the height into the BMI formula.
BMI=38kg(1.51m)2BMI = \frac{38 kg}{(1.51 m)^2}

STEP 7

Calculate the BMI.
BMI=38(1.51)2=16.67BMI = \frac{38}{(1.51)^2} =16.67The BMI of the child is16.67.
