Answer :
Chris's BMI is approximately 23.44 kg/m².
To calculate Chris's Body Mass Index (BMI), we first need to convert his height from feet to meters and his weight from pounds to kilograms.
- 1 foot is approximately equal to 0.3048 meters, so Chris's height in meters is 7 ft × 0.3048 m/ft = 2.1336 m.
Since 1 pound is approximately equal to 0.4536 kilograms, Chris's weight in kilograms is 235 lbs × 0.4536 kg/lb = 106.594 kg.
Now that we have his height in meters (2.1336 m) and weight in kilograms (106.594 kg), we can calculate his BMI using the formula:
- BMI = weight (kg) / (height (m))²
- BMI = 106.594 kg / (2.1336 m)²
- BMI = 106.594 kg / 4.5497 m²
- BMI ≈ 23.44 kg/m²
