2. STEP 1
Multiply your height in inches
times your height in inches.
For example: If bob is 70 inches tall, multiply
70 x 70 = 4900
3. STEP 2
Divide your weight by the
number you arrived at in Step 1.
4900 is the number we got from step 1.
So we divide Bob’s weight (180 pounds) by
4900
180/4900 = .0367
4. STEP 3
Multiply the number you came
up with in Step 2 by 705.
.0367 is the number we came up with in step
2.
To find Bob’s BMI just multiply .0367 x 705.
.0367 x 705 = 25.89
5. Compare your results to the
chart below
BMI of 19 or below: You’re considered
underweight.
BMI between 19 and 24.9: You’re in the
healthy range.
BMI between 25 and 29.9: You’re
considered overweight.
BMI of 30 or greater: You’re considered
obese.
