Answer:

  661 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of heights of your hypothetical man and the average man is ...

  109/70

Since you say the ratio of weights is the cube of this number, the weight of your hypothetical man would be ...

  w/175 = (109/70)³

  w = 175×(109/70)³ ≈ 660.73 ≈ 661 . . . pounds
