A friend of mine is 76 inches tall. He very strict about keeping his BMI between 24 and 33 What should weight be in order to keep this type BMI?
BMI = (Weight in pounds) / (Height in inches) x (Height in inches)
Let's first convert your friend's height to inches:
76 inches / 12 inches per foot = 6.33 feet
Now, let's calculate the minimum and maximum weight for a BMI of 24 and 33, respectively:
BMI = 24: Weight = 24 x 6.33 x 6.33 = 99.5 lbs
BMI = 33: Weight = 33 x 6.33 x 6.33 = 136.5 lbs
Therefore, your friend's weight should be between 99.5 lbs and 136.5 lbs to maintain a BMI between 24 and 33.
