Answer :
To answer this question, we will first state the formula for finding the BMI (Body mass index), which is:
[tex]=\frac{\text{weight (pounds)}\times703}{\text{height}^2(in^2)}[/tex]Given:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Weight}=135\text{pounds} \\ \text{Height}=5ft8in \\ To\text{ convert the height to inches:} \\ \text{Height}=(5\times12)\text{ in+8in} \\ Height=(60+8)\text{ in} \\ =68in \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we will substitute these parameters into the given formula above and obtain the BMI:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{BMI}=\frac{135\times703}{(68)^2} \\ =20.5244\frac{lbs}{in^2} \end{gathered}[/tex]
