The body mass index (BMI) is a number that can be calculated for any individual by using the equation: BMI = (703 * w) / h^2 where weight (w) is in pounds and height (h) is in inches. Use this information to complete the following: a. Calculate the BMI for a person who weighs 219 pounds and is 6'1'' tall. BMI = (Round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

The federal government has developed the body mass index (BMI) to determine ideal weights. A person's BMI is directly proportional to his or her weight in pounds and inversely proportional to the square of his or her height in inches. (A BMI of 19 to 25 corresponds to a healthy weight.) A 6-foot-tall person weighing 177 lb has a BMI of 24. Find the BMI (to the nearest whole number) of a person whose weight is 162 lb and whose height is 61 in.
