Question
Reema has 24 notebooks and 18 books. Find the ratio of notebooks to books.
Advertisements
Solution
Number of notebooks = 24
Number of books = 18
∴ Ratio of notebooks to books = Number of notebooks : Number of books
= 24 : 18
= `24/18`
= `(24 div 6)/(18 div 6)` (HCF of 24 and 18 = 6)
= `4/3`
= 4 : 3
Thus, the ratio of notebooks to books is `4/3` or 4 : 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 |
