Question 448970: 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= 700 W/H2(little 2 over the H), where W=weight, in pounds, and H=height, in inches. Francis weighs 214 pounds and stands 76 inches tall. What is his approximate body mass index? Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in the low-risk category.
Francis' approximate body mass index is_______. (round to the nearest whole number.)
