A measure of malnutrition called the pelidisi varies directly as the cube root of a person's weight in grams and inversely as the person's sitting height in centimeters. A person with a pelidisi below 100 is considered to be undernourished, while a pelidisi greater than 100 indicates overfeeding. A person who weighs 48,820 g with a sitting height of 78.7 cm has a pelidisi of 100. Find the pelidisi (to the nearest whole number) of a person whose weight is 51,485 g and whose sitting height is 69.5 cm. Is this individual undernourished or overfed? The pelidisi is (Round to the nearest integer as needed) Is this individual undernourished or overfed? undernourished overfed
