Based on Formula B, what is w in terms in BMI?

A

`w=5BMI+25`

B

`w=5BMI-25`

C

`w=(5BMI+100)/4`

D

`w=(5BMI-100)/4`

The correct Answer is:
To find \( w \) in terms of \( BMI \) based on Formula B, we start with the equation given by Formula B: \[ BMI = \frac{4w - 100}{5} \] ### Step 1: Cross Multiply To eliminate the fraction, we can cross-multiply. This gives us: \[ 5 \cdot BMI = 4w - 100 \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the Equation Next, we want to isolate \( w \). We can rearrange the equation by adding 100 to both sides: \[ 5 \cdot BMI + 100 = 4w \] ### Step 3: Solve for \( w \) Now, we divide both sides by 4 to solve for \( w \): \[ w = \frac{5 \cdot BMI + 100}{4} \] Thus, we have expressed \( w \) in terms of \( BMI \): \[ w = \frac{5 \cdot BMI + 100}{4} \] ### Final Answer The final expression for \( w \) in terms of \( BMI \) is: \[ w = \frac{5 \cdot BMI + 100}{4} \] ---
