Out of 50 students in a class, 30 are boys. Find the ratio of number of boys to the number of girls
Advertisements
Solution
Total no of students = 50
No of boys = 30
No of girls = 50 – 30 = 20
Ratio of boys to girls = 30 : 20
= `30/20`
= `3/2`
= 3 : 2

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 |
