Question

how to calculate bmi

Answer 1

BMI is your weight (in kilograms) over your height squared (in centimeters). Let's calculate, however, using pounds and inches. For instance, the BMI of a person who is 5'3" and weighs 125 lbs is calculated as followsMultiply the weight in pounds by 0.45 (the metric conversion factor)125 X 0.45 = 56.25 kg  Multiply the height in inches by 0.025 (the metric conversion factor)63 X 0.025 = 1.575 m Square the answer from step 1.575 X 1.575 = 2.480625
 Divide the answer from step 1 by the answer from step 356.25 : 2.480625 = 22.7
 The BMI for a person who is 5’3" and weighs 125 lbs is 22.7 or practically, 23.
