Answer 2

As per BMI, Pat is underweight, Jabar is normal weight and Julie is overweight.

What is BMI?

• BMI stands for Body Mass Index.
• It is calculated by dividing mass of a person (kg) to square of body height(meter square)
• $BMI= mass(kg)/height^{2} (m)^{2}$
• If your BMI is- below 18.5 you are underweight, between 18.5-24.9 is normal weight and between 25-29.5 is overweight.

Given, Pat's weight is 140 pounds= 63.5 kg and height is 6 feet 5 inches= 1.96 m.

So, BMI= 63.5/(1.96 x 1.96)= 16.5 kg/m${2}$ (underweight).

Jabar's weight is 140 pounds= 63.5 kg and height is 5 feet 9 inches= 1.75 m.

So, BMI= 63.5/(1.75 x 1.75)= 20.8 kg/m${2}$ (normal weight).

Julie's weight is 130 pounds= 58.97 kg and height is 4 feet 9 inches= 1.45 m.

So, BMI= 58.97/( 1.45 x 1.45)= 28.08 kg/m${2}$ (overweight).

Hence, the correct answer is: Pat- underweight, Jabar- normal weight and Julie- overweight.
