QuestionCalculate BMI with weight 24 kg24 \mathrm{~kg} and height 123 cm123 \mathrm{~cm}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The weight is given in kilograms (kg) . The height is given in centimeters (cm)
3. The formula to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI) isBMI = \frac{Weight\, (kg)}{Height\, (m)^}

STEP 2

First, we need to convert the height from centimeters to meters, as the BMI formula requires the 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 to calculate the height in meters.
Height (m)=123 cm100Height\, (m) = \frac{123\, cm}{100}

STEP 4

Calculate the height in meters.
Height (m)=123100=1.23 mHeight\, (m) = \frac{123}{100} =1.23\, m

STEP 5

Now that we have the height in meters, we can plug in the given values for the weight and height into 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 to calculate the BMI.
BMI=24 kg(1.23 m)2BMI = \frac{24\, kg}{(1.23\, m)^2}

STEP 7

Calculate the BMI.
BMI=241.232≈15.9BMI = \frac{24}{1.23^2} \approx15.9The Body Mass Index (BMI) is approximately15.9.
