Question

25 year old Male, receives a BCA 19%, 86 curl-ups, 76 push-ups, 9:30 minutes on the 1.5 mile run. What is his overall PRT score?

Answer 1

To overall PRT score, calculated by converting the individual component scores to percentages and then sum them up, is 47.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The overall Physical Readiness Test (PRT) score is calculated using four components: Body Composition Assessment (BCA), Curl-ups, Push-ups, and the 1.5 mile run. Each component has a maximum score assigned to it. To calculate the overall PRT score, you need to convert the individual component scores to percentages and then sum them up. Let's calculate the overall PRT score for the given student:

1. BCA: The student receives a 19%, so the BCA score out of 25 is (19/100) * 25 = 4.75.
2. Curl-ups: The student does 86 curl-ups, so the score out of 25 is (86/100) * 25 = 21.5.
3. Push-ups: The student does 76 push-ups, so the score out of 25 is (76/100) * 25 = 19.
4. 1.5 mile run: The student completes it in 9 minutes and 30 seconds. To convert it to a score out of 25, we need to compare it to the performance standards. Let's assume the standard is 10 minutes for a score of 25. The student's score would then be (25/10) * (10 - 9.5) = 2.5.
5. Add up the scores from the four components: 4.75 + 21.5 + 19 + 2.5 = 47.75.

Therefore, the student's overall PRT score is 47.75.
