What is the BMI of a person who is 5'7" and weighs 190 lb?

19 kg/m2
25 kg/m2
30 kg/m2
35 kg/m2

The correct answer is: 30 kg/m2

To determine the Body Mass Index (BMI) of a person who is 5'7" and weighs 190 pounds, you can use the BMI formula: BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))^2. First, convert the height from feet and inches to meters. Since 5'7" is 67 inches, and 1 inch is 0.0254 meters, the height in meters is: 67 inches * 0.0254 m/inch = 1.702 m. Next, convert the weight from pounds to kilograms. Since 1 pound is approximately 0.453592 kilograms, the weight in kilograms is: 190 lb * 0.453592 kg/lb = 86.182 kg. Now, we can calculate the BMI using these values: BMI = 86.182 kg / (1.702 m)^2 = 86.182 / 2.899 = approximately 29.7 kg/m². This value rounds to 30 kg/m². Thus, the BMI of a person who is 5'7" and weighs 190 pounds is in the range classified as overweight, which aligns with the choice noted as 30 kg/m².
