Advertisements
Solution
The given values = 3.5 m, 475 cm and 2.8 m
= 3.5 x 100 cm : 475 cm : 2.8 x 100 cm
= 350 cm : 475 cm : 280 cm
= 70 cm : 95 cm : 56 cm
The ratio is 70 : 95 : 56

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).

| 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 |
