Answer
the healthy weight of the person with height 6’0” is 178 pounds and the calculated healthy weight is 6 pounds below the upper end of the given range.
Work Step by Step
Consider the equation as follows:
$\frac{W}{2}-3H=53$
Now, substitute the value of $H$as 12 and find the value of $W$.
$\begin{align}
& \frac{W}{2}-3\left( 12 \right)=53 \\
& \frac{W}{2}=53+36 \\
& W=178\ \text{pounds}
\end{align}$
Here, the value of H is in inches over 5 feet.
Now, subtract the above value of the weight with the upper end of the given range. We obtain:
$184-178=6\ \text{pounds}$
This shows that the calculated healthy weight is 6 pounds below the upper end of the given range.
Hence, the healthy weight of the person with height 6’0” is 178 pounds and the calculated healthy weight is 6 pounds below the upper end of the given range.
