BMI = Body Mass Index  Formula:  BMI =       Wkg              ------------                   Hm2 For example:        =        50/ 1.50m2        =      50/ 2.25 BMI   =         22.22        Classification = Normal Compute the BMI  Weight is  55 kgs while the height is 1. 44m.   BMI = 26.52 Classification  = Overweight If the weight is 67 kgs while the height is 1.72m. What is the BMI? BMI = 22.65 Classification = Normal So now, compute your BMI. Thank you for reading and commenting.....
