Solution
Body mass index, or BMI, is a way of describing height and weight in one number that can help tell if someone’s weight is healthy. We can find it by multiplying your weight in pounds by 703 and divide it by your height (in inches) squared. Obesity in adults is defined as having a BMI of 30.0 or above and is universally expressed in units of kg/m2
