Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate BMI, divide the weight in kilograms by the square of the height in meters. Since the question provides the height and weight in feet and pounds, we need to convert them into metric units first.

1 foot = 0.3048 meters
6 feet = 1.8288 meters

1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms
205 pounds = 92.9864 kilograms

Now we can calculate the BMI:

BMI = 92.9864 / (1.8288)^2 = 27.8

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the BMI is 28, which corresponds to the answer choice A.
