What is the formula to calculate Body Mass Index (BMI)?

The correct approach to calculating Body Mass Index (BMI) involves using the weight in kilograms and the height in meters. The formula for BMI is typically represented as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared. However, if you are using pounds and inches, the formula modifies slightly.

To calculate BMI using pounds and inches, the correct formula is weight in pounds divided by height in inches squared and then multiplied by 703. This calculation allows for the same measurement and units used in the metric formula, where the factor 703 adjusts for the difference in unit systems.

Thus, while you selected "None of the above," this option attempts to indicate that none of the listed formulas are correct. However, one of the provided choices correctly describes how to calculate BMI using imperial units (pounds and inches), indicating that option for calculating BMI is present among the options. In the context of the question, the correct choice would be the one that aligns with the formula when adjusted properly for imperial measurements, demonstrating that a more nuanced understanding of the calculations can lead to an accurate interpretation of the options provided.
