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.

Respuesta :

The desired calculation is
   waist/hip = (42 inches)/(42-2 inches) = 42/40 ≈ 1.05
