Using the formula given, we substitute h = 62:
W = 4h - 130
W = 4(62) - 130
W = 248 - 130
W = 118
Therefore, the ideal minimum weight for a woman who is 62 inches tall is 118 lbs, which corresponds to choice C. Using the formula given, when h = 62:
W = 4(62) - 130
W = 118
Therefore, the ideal minimum weight of a woman whose height is 62 inches is 118 pounds. The answer is C.
