Work Step by Step

(a) To calculate: The woman’s BMI Horizontal axis shows a person’s age, vertical axis shows that person’s body-mass index (BMI), computed using the following formula \[\text{BMI}=\frac{703W}{{{H}^{2}}}\] \[W=105\], \[H=66\], BMI is \[\begin{align} & \text{BMI}=\frac{703\left( 105 \right)}{{{66}^{2}}} \\ & =\frac{73815}{4356} \\ & =16.945 \end{align}\] Now, rounding to the nearest tenth, Hence, \[\text{BMI}=16.9\]
