If a patient is 5 ft 8in tall . What should his or her weight be to have a BMI of 25? Round to nearest whole pound.
I know that BMI is B=705w/h^2
h-height so in this case, 68 inches
w-weight so it would just remain w right? and
b-bmi so 25?
--------
25 = 705*w/68^2
(25/705) = w/4624
w = 4624(25/705)
w = 163.97 lbs
