2.The formula used to calculate the percentage of body fat for men is –?
% Body fat = (-98.42 + 4.15 w - 0.082 b) / b Where, "w” is the waist measurement in inches and "b" is the total body weight in pounds. What is the body fat for a man weighing 156 pounds and waist measurement 32 inches. Round the percentage to the nearest integer. I came up with .14 that does not seem right for some reason

- the answer is 21.588 you messed up some where in your math
- b=156 and w=32 so: body fat= (-98.42 + 4.15*32 - 0.082*156) / 156 = (-98.42 + 132.8 - 12.792) / 156 = 21.588 / 156 = 0.138384.. well, this is the same result as yours. So you were correct. The percentage is: 14%
