During an annual physical, a doctor wants to determine not only the weight of her patients, but also the Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI measures the ratio of weight to height. The formula for calculating BMI is: Where w = weight in pounds and h = height in inches. An adult whose BMI is: less than 18.5 is considered underweight, between 18.5 and 25 is considered normal weight, between 25 and 30 is overweight, and over 30 is considered obese. Determine which category an adult female who weighs 124 pounds and is 5 feet tall (60 inches) would be considered. A overweight B underweight C normal weight D obese
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 miles away.
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 experiments to set up the devices.
