Calculating Ideal Weight for a BMI of 24-33 (76 Inches)

To calculate your friend's ideal weight range for a BMI between 24 and 33, we can use the formula:

BMI = (Weight in pounds) / (Height in inches) x (Height in inches)

Let's first convert your friend's height to inches:

76 inches / 12 inches per foot = 6.33 feet

Now, let's calculate the minimum and maximum weight for a BMI of 24 and 33, respectively:

BMI = 24: Weight = 24 x 6.33 x 6.33 = 99.5 lbs

BMI = 33: Weight = 33 x 6.33 x 6.33 = 136.5 lbs

Therefore, your friend's weight should be between 99.5 lbs and 136.5 lbs to maintain a BMI between 24 and 33.
