Answer:
A client weighs 150 lbs and is 68 in tall
The formula for calculating BMI is weight in kilograms divided by the height in meters squared.
The formula to convert pounds to kilograms is to divide the weight in pounds by 2.2 kilograms.
The formula for converting inches to meters is to multiply the total inches times 0.0254 meters.
150 pounds divided by 2.2 equals 68.18 kilograms. 68 inches multiplied times 0.0254 inches
equals 1.7272 meters. 1.7272 meters (squared) is 2.983 meters. 68.18 kilograms divided by 2.983
meters equals a BMI of 22.85. A BMI of 18.5-24.9 is considered a healthy weight.
