BMI - Body Mass Index

Step 1: Multiply your weight in pounds by .45.
Step 2: Multiply your height in inches by .025.  Square the result.
Step 3: Divide your answer in step 1 by the answer in step 2.

For Example: A person who is 5'2" (62 inches), and weighs 110 lbs would have a BMI of :

Step 1: 110x .45 = 49.5  
Step 2: 62 in x .025 = 1.55;  1.55x1.55= 2.4
Step 3: 49.5/ 2.4= 20.63 BMI
