A 17 year old female high school student feels that she is overweight. Her weight is 145 and height 5'4. Calculate the BMI. Round your answer to one decimal place.

BMI is 24.9

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the student's BMI we first need to convert her weight into kilograms and her height into meters. We know that there are 39.37 inches in a meter and every foot has 12 inches. Therefore, since the student is 5ft 4 inches, this means she is 64inches tall. Now we can divide this by 39.37 to find her height in meters

64 / 39.37 = 1.6256 meters

Now we need to calculate her weight in kilograms. Since there are 2.20462 pounds in 1 kilogram, we simply divide her weight by 2.20462.

145 / 2.20462 = 65.7709 kilograms

Now we use the BMI formula to solve for the students BMI
