Question 138535
BMI is given by {{{I= 700 W/H^2}}}

Francis weighs 176 pounds and is his height is 68 inches.

Since the value for W and H are in the correct units (pounds and inches), just replace the variables in the BMI equation with Francis's info.

{{{I= 700 W/H^2}}}
{{{I = (700* 176)/68^2}}}
{{{I = 26.64}}} too bad Francis. 

He can get into the low risk group as long as:
{{{25 =(700*W)/68^2}}}
{{{(25 * 68^2)/700 = W }}}
{{{165.14 = W }}}

So if Francis can lose 10 pounds, he can save a few bucks and live a more healthy life. He need to weigh less than 165 {{{w<165}}}
