Question 163619: The body mass index, I, can be used to determine an individual’s risk for heart disease. An index less than 25 indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula, or model,
I = 700W / H^2 where W = weight, in pounds, and H = height, in inches. Francis weighs 212 pounds and stand 73 inches tall. What is his approximate body mass index? Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in a low-risk category.
Francis’ approximate body mass index is ___
(Round to the nearest whole number.)

The body mass index, I, can be used to determine an individual’s risk for heart disease. An index less than 25 indicates a low risk. The body mass index is given by the formula, or model,
I = 700W / H^2 where W = weight, in pounds, and H = height, in inches. Francis weighs 212 pounds and stand 73 inches tall.
---------------------------------------------
What is his approximate body mass index?
I = [700*212/73^2] = 27.85
-----------------------------------------------
Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in a low-risk category.
700*W/73^2 < 25
Weight < 190.32 lbs.
