You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Ehrenberg equationgive the relationship between height h(in inches)and the average W (in pounds)for children between 5 and 13 years old.
W = 5.2911e^.0467h
(A) Find the average weight of a child who is 4 feet 6 inches tall.
For this part of the question, let h = 4 feet, 6 inches. I would convert this measure to inches for easy calculation. What is 4 feet, 6 inches in total inches? Well, 4 feet = 48 inches. Then 48 inches + 6 inches = 54 inches.
So, let h = 54 and simplify using your calculator.
==================================================
(B) What height would correspond to an average weight of 107 pounds?
For this part, replace W with 107 pounds and simplify using your calculator.
