To calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI), you can use the following formula:
\[ \text{BMI} = \frac{\text{weight in pounds}}{(\text{height in inches})^2} \times 703 \]
Given:
- Weight = 120 pounds × 703 = 84,360 (seems there is a misunderstanding; typically, your weight would simply be 120 pounds, not multiplied by 703)
- Height = 67 inches
Using the correct weight of 120 pounds, the calculation would be:
\[ \text{BMI} = \frac{120}{(67)^2} \times 703 \]
Now, calculate \(67^2\): \[ 67^2 = 4489 \]
Now plug that value into the BMI formula: \[ \text{BMI} = \frac{120}{4489} \times 703 \]
Calculating the division: \[ \frac{120}{4489} \approx 0.0267 \]
Now multiply by 703: \[ 0.0267 \times 703 \approx 18.75 \]
So, your BMI is approximately 18.8.
Conclusion:
- Weight: 120 pounds
- Height: 67 inches
- BMI: Approximately 18.8
BMI Categories:
- Underweight: BMI less than 18.5
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5–24.9
- Overweight: BMI 25–29.9
- Obesity: BMI 30 or greater
Based on this calculation, a BMI of 18.8 would classify you as underweight.
