The client's BMI is 29.50.

To work out your BMI:

2. then divide the answer by your height again to get your BMI.

Answer 2

Answer : The client's body mass index is,
`0.03lb/inch^2`

Explanation :

The formula of body mass index is:

`BMI=(w)/(h^2)`

where,

BMI = body mass index

w = weight of a person = 150 lb

h = height of a person = 5 ft 7 inch = 67 inches (1 ft = 12 inch)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the client's body mass index.

`BMI=(150lb)/((67inch)^2)`

`BMI=0.03lb/inch^2`

Therefore, the client's body mass index is,
`0.03lb/inch^2`
