Problema Solution

76 inches tall. What weights will keep his body mass index between 25 and 33?

Answer provided by our tutors

The formula for the body mass index


This should be 25 <= BMI <= 33, where BMI = (mass * 703) / 762  , so

25 <= (mass * 703) / 762 <= 33

25 * 762 <= mass *703 <= 33 * 762

144400 <= mass * 703 <= 190608

144400/703 <= mass <= 190608/703

205.40 <= mass <= 271.13

So, his weight should be between 205.4 and 271.13 pounds
