Calculating the BMI:
|
||
| English | ||
| 1) | Multiply weight by 704 | 150 x 704 = 105,600 |
| 2) | Multiply height by itself | 65 x 65 = 4,225 |
| 3) | Divide the answer in step 1 by the answer in step 2 to get BMI |
105,600 divided by 4,225 = 24.99 |
| BMI = 25 (rounded) | ||
| Metric |
||
| 1) | Multiply weight by 10,000 | 68 x 10,000 = 680,000 |
| 2) | Multiply height by itself | 165 x 165 = 27,225 |
| 3) | Divide the answer in step 1 by the answer in step 2 to get BMI |
680,000 divided by 27,225 = 24.98 |
| BMI = 25 (rounded) | ||
