Asked by Carly

Body mass index (BMI) is essentially a comparison between a person's weight and height. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered healthy, over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is considered obese. How do you think a person's height varies with BMI? What about weight with BMI?

I'm honestly stumped with this one, because regardless of your height, you could be skinny or heavy, so your bmi wouldn't matter?
And wouldn't your weight and bmi be a direct variation -- the more you weight the higher your bmi?
Thank you.

Consider how it is affected if the height increases but the weight stays the same. Do the same for weight. It increases but the height stays the same. I think the questions are not well worded. I interpret the first as how does BMI vary with height? Ask the teacher for clarification and explain how you interpreted the questions in your answers.
