Question 471808: Can someone please help me with solving this problem?
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/H2, where W=weight, in pounds, and H=height, in inches. Francis weigh 173 pounds and stands 74 inches tall. What is his approximately body mass index? Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in the low risk category.
Francis approximate body mass index is_____?
(Round to the nearest whole number)

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 pounds, and H=height, in inches.

Francis weigh 173 pounds and stands 74 inches tall.
--------------------
What is his approximately body mass index?
I = 700*173/74^2 = 22 when rounded down
---------------------------------
Find an inequality describing all weights W that Francis can have and be in the low risk category.

Solve: 700W/H^2 < 25
W < 74^2*25/700
---
W < 195.57 lbs
