Concept explainers

Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Chapter 6, Problem 26P

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of obesity. In standard units, it is calculated by the formula

B M I = 703 W H 2

where W is weight in pounds, and H is height in inches. The obesity classification is:

 

    BMI Classification
    Below 18.5 Underweight
    18.5 to 24.9 Normal
    25 to 29.9 Overweight
    30 and above Obese

Write a program in a script file that calculates the BMI of a person. The program asks the person to enter his or her weight (lb) and height (in.). The program displays the result in a sentence that reads: “Your BMI value is XXX, which classifies you as SSSS.” where XXX is the BMI value rounded to the nearest tenth, and SSSS is the corresponding classification. Use the program for determining the obesity of the following two individuals:

(a) A person 6 ft 2 in. tall with a weight of 180 lb.

(b) A person 5 ft 1 in. tall with a weight of 150 lb.
