    Answer: 1 Liter and 800 ml

    Rationale: 1 Liter of fluid is equal to 1kg

    4. 1cc = 1ml

    5. 1kg = 2.2lbs

    6. 1 foot = 12 inch
    1 inch = 2.54 cm
    100 cm = 1 m

    Ex. Client 6 ft and 8 inch. Compute in centimetre and meter.

    6ft 12 inch = 72 inch


    1ft
    ↓
    72 inch + 8 inch = 80 inch
    ↓
    80 inch 2.54cm = 203.2 cm
    1inch
    ↓
    203.2 cm 1m___ = 2.032 m

    145 / 2.2 = 65.90 kg

    b. cm: 172.72 cm

    c. m: 1.73 m

    d BMI = kg__ = kg__ = 65.9 kg = 65.9 kg = 22.33 or 21.9 = Normal BMI


    m2 m2 (1.72)2 2.95

    BMI: ↓ 20 = underweight
