The body mass index, I, can be used to determine an individuals risk for heart disease. An index less than 25 indicates low risk. I=700w/h^2 where w=weight in pounds, h=height in inches. Jerome is 68 inches tall.

What weights will keep his body mass index between 18 and 31

Question

The body mass index, I, can be used to determine an individuals risk for heart disease. An index less than 25 indicates low risk. I=700w/h^2 where w=weight in pounds, h=height in inches. Jerome is 68 inches tall.

What weights will keep his body mass index between 18 and 31

tad1 · Answer

18 = (700)(w/68^2
31 = (700)(w)/68^2
work out both equations, your answer w wil be an inequality
between the two results

anonymous · Answer

The answer should look like this ____<w<_______  I think that it should be 18<W<31

tad1 · Answer

no, w is the weight.  You have to solve each of the equaitons I gave you.  the form is right, but 18 and 31 are indices not weights.
