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.

\n" ); document.write( "Francis weigh 173 pounds and stands 74 inches tall.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "What is his approximately body mass index?
\n" ); document.write( "I = 700*173/74^2 = 22 when rounded down
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in the low risk category.
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Solve: 700W/H^2 < 25
\n" ); document.write( "W < 74^2*25/700
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "W < 195.57 lbs
