Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the BMI, we use the formula: BMI = (Weight in pounds / (Height in inches)^2) * 703.

First, we need to convert Molly's height to inches: 
5 feet = 60 inches 
2 inches

Total height = 62 inches

Now we can plug in the values: 
BMI = (170 / (62)^2) * 703 
BMI = (170 / 3844) * 703 
BMI = 0.0442 * 703

BMI = 31 (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Therefore, the best choice is B (31).
