How do I find my BMI. Weight is 120 x 703 and my hight6is 67 inches

1 answer

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.
