उत्तर १

Total population = 1,80,000

Population of males = `1/3` × 1,80,000 = 60,000

∴ Population of females = 1,80,000 – 60,000 = 1,20,000

The ratio of females to the whole population

= 1,20,000 : 1,80,000 = 12 : 18 = 2 : 3

उत्तर २

The total population of the town = 180,000

The number of males = `1/3` of the total population

Number of males `=1/3​×1,80,000=60,000`

The number of females will be the remainder of the population after subtracting the number of males:

Number of females = Total population − Number of males

Number of females = 1,80,000 − 60,000 = 1,20,000

Ratio of females to total population `= ("Number of females")/("Total population") = 120000/180000`

Simplify the fraction:

Ratio `= (120000div60000)/(180000div60000)=2/3`

The number of females is 120,000

The ratio of females to the total population is `2/3`

A doctor reports blood pressure in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) as a ratio of systolic blood pressure to diastolic blood pressure (such as 140 over 80). Systolic pressure is measured when the heart beats, and diastolic pressure is measured when it rests. Refer to the table of blood pressure ranges for adults.

Blood Pressure Ranges
  Normal Prehypertension Hypertension
(Very High)
Systolic Under 120 mm Hg 120-139 mm Hg 140 mm Hg and above
Diastolic Under 80 mm Hg 80-89 mm Hg 90 mm Hg and above
