Answer the following exercise in a scratch paper using the formula given to you. You will be
given 10 minutes to present your answer.

1. Find the BMI with the given measurement: Ht = 4’9” wt = 80 kg

• Ht – 4’9’’
• 4 x 12 = 48
= 48 + 9
= 57 x 2.54 cm/100
= 1.4478 m2
= 2.1
• BMI = kg/m2
= 80 kg/2.1 m2
= 38.1 (Obese Type 1)

2. Find the DBW of a 4 and ½ months old infant.

• DBW = (4.5 months) + 3
2
= 3.75 kg.
= 4 kg.

3. Anna is 7 years old. What is her DBW?

• DBW = (7 years old x 2) +8
= 22 kg.

4. What is the DBW in kilogram of a female adult with a height of 4’11”?

• 106 lbs. (female) – [1 in. (counted from 11 in to 12 in) x 4 lbs.]
= 106 lbs. – 4
= 102 lbs.
• Note: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs.
= 102 lbs./ 2.2 lbs.
= 46 kg.

5. Mark is 5’10” tall. What is his DBW in pound?
