West Point U.S. Military Academy has been Jack's dream college for as long as he can remember. He knows that it takes more than excellent grades to be accepted. USMA wants future leaders who are not only smart and of outstanding character, but also physically fit. Jack's physical fitness is up to the admission standards, but there is one line on the application that really worries him: BMI. The U.S. Army weight standards for his age require a BMI between 19 and 25.9 kg/m2. Jack knows he is definitely heavier than most of his friends of the same height. He is very fit and his body is "solid muscle," but a rule is a rule. Jack is 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 192 pounds. What is Jack's BMI? Round to one decimal place.
Answer: 24.7 kg/m^2
