Answer 1

> or = 95th percentile

Equal to or greater than 95th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Obesity is characterized by unhealthy large amounts of fat in the body system.

An individual’s weight is said to be healthy or not by calculation of the BMI( Body mass index)

BMI = Weight/height2

= Weight divided by the square of the height

=kg/m2

A BMI of 30 and above is considered obese and the percentile range is greater than or equal to 95.

Answer 2

For Devon to be considered Obese, his BMI must be above 30%

BMI stands of Body Mass Index and is a good indicator of a person's health and weight.

A BMI of 18.2-25 is considered normal, but a BMI between 25-30 is considered overweight.

All figures close to 85th and 95th percentile
