Question 455514: The body-mass index, or BMI, is used by physicians to assess a person's level of body fat. The BMI varies directly as an individual's weight in pounds and inversely as the square of the individual's height in inches. A person who weighs 118 pounds and is 64 inches tall has a BMI of 20. (The BMI is rounded to the nearest whole number.) Find the BMI of a person who weighs 165 pounds with a height of 70 inches.
