A measure of​ malnutrition, called the​ pelidisi, varies directly as the cube root of a​ person's weight in grams and inversely as the​ person's sitting height in centimeters. A person with a pelidisi below 100 is considered to be​ undernourished, while a pelidisi greater than 100 indicates overfeeding. A person who weighs​ 48,820 g with a sitting height of 78.7 cm has a pelidisi of 100. Find the pelidisi​ (to the nearest whole​ number) of a person whose weight is 45,010 g and whose sitting height is 68.6 cm. Is this individual undernourished or​ overfed?
