The waist to hip ratio is the ratio, commonly expressed as a decimal that has been shown to be a good predictor of possible card
iovascular problems in both men and women. If a man has a WH are greater than one, he is considered to be at high risk for cardiovascular problems. Calculate the WHR of the male with a waist measurement of 40 inches and a hip measurement of 2 inches less.
(both women and men)=2 greater than one with that substitute in this example we will us 12 bigger then 1 2+12+1=15 WHR waist measurement would be out of 40 inches it would be 20 divide by 40= 0.5 so count that to a 5 limit hip measurement 2 less so then you would say 20 divide by 40 minus 2= -1.5 which equals as i typed - 1.5 so - 1.5 is your in step what you do is step.1- find out what 2+12+1= step.2- find the WHR waist measurement step.3- then divide your waist measurements step.4 - find the hip measurement that's less then 2 and divide it to get the answer to the proublem :P Hope i could help :) <span />
