If both Sally and her brother Jesse gain the same small amount of weight, who will see the largest increase in BMI? Jesse is 71" tall and weighs $190 \mathrm{lbs}$.
A) .189, Sally
B) 22.671, Sally
C) .189, Jesse

The rate of change of BMI with respect to weight is given by $\frac{703}{h^2}$. For Sally, this is $\frac{703}{61^2} \approx 0.189$. For Jesse, it is $\frac{703}{71^2} \approx 0.140$. Since 0.189 > 0.140, Sally will see the largest increase in BMI.
