Computing Body Mass Index (BMI) Materials: Calculator Estimated Time: 10 minutes Group Size: 2 Body mass index is a statistical measures of an individual's weight in relation to the person's height. It is computed by BMI = 703 W h 2 were W is a person's weight in p o u n d s . h is the person's height in i n c h e s . The National Institutes of Health (NIH) categorizes body mass indices as shown in the table. Body Mass Index (BMI) Weight Status 18.5 ≤ BMI ≤ 24.9 Considered ideal 25.0 ≤ BMI ≤ 29.9 Considered overweight BMI ≥ 30.0 Considered obese At the time that basketball legend Michael Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls, he was 210 lb and stood 6 ′ 6 ″ tall. What was Michael Jordan's body mass index?

This is an example only. What can be a simialr equation with differnet numbers using logs and can have a mistake in one of the steps and what will be the correct way to solve it. Thanks
