Question 1089532: The measure of malnutrition called pelisi differs directly as cube root a person's weight in grams and inversely as person's sitting height in centimeters. The person with the pelidisi below 100 is considered to be undernourished while the pelidisi greater than100 indicates overfeeding. The person who weights 48.200g with a sitting height of 78.7 cm has the pelidisi of 100. Determine pelidisi(to nearest whole number) of the person whose weight is given as 54,688 g and whose sitting height is given 72.6 cm. is this individual undernourished or overfed?

If a person who weighs 48200g with a sitting height of 78.7cm has a pelidisi score of 100, then a person who weighs 54688g, and whose height is 72.6cm would be:
100*54688/48200*78.7/72.6=123
Their pelidisi number would be 123
This person is overfed
