Question 183082: 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 pound's, and H = height, in inches. Jerome is 75 inches tall. What weights will keep his body mass index between 25 and 33?
Jerome's body mass index will fall between 25 and 33 for the set of all weights such that ____< W < ____.
(round to the nearest whole number as needed)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 pound's, and H = height, in inches.

Jerome is 75 inches tall. What weights will keep his body mass index between 25 and 33?
---
25 < I < 33
25 < 700w/H^2 < 33
H = 75 so you get:
25 < 700 w/75^2 < 33
25*75^2 < 700 w < 33*75^2
(25*75^2)/700 < w < (33*75^2)/700
200.893 lbs. < weight < 265.179 lbs.
