Question

Word Problem The Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) is a ratio commonly expressed as a decimal that has been shown to be a good predictor of possible cardiovascular problems in both men and women. If Kevin has a WHR greater than 1, he is considered to be “high risk” for cardiovascular problems. Calculate Kevin’s WHR with a waist measurement of 42 inches and a hip measurement 2 inches less.

Answer 1

we have given waist to hip ratio

if WHR is greater than 1 he has a high risk of cardio vascular problem.

WHR=waist inches/hip inches

kevin has waist measuremnt of 42 inches .

and hip measurement is 2 inch less that waist measurement.

which means 40 inches.

WHR=42/40=1.05.

kevin has 1.05 WHR which is greater than 1 .
