Explanation / Answer

1. TOM'S BMI

BMI =

a) The BMI of a person who is 5'10" and weighs 220 lbs is calculated as follows- Multiply the weight in pounds by 0.45 (the metric conversion factor) to convert into kg.

Tom's weight = 220 X.45 = 99KG

B) convert height into meters

Tom's weight = 70 X .025 = 1.75m

Square the HEIGHT 1.75 X 1.75 = 3.06

Divide the answer from step A by the answer from step B = 99/3.06

= 32.35 , this is the BMI of Tom.
