To calculate the Height to Weight Ratio (H:W):
\[ \text{H:W} = \frac{\text{H}}{\text{W}} \]
Where:
The Height to Weight Ratio is a measure of the proportion of your height to your weight. It is calculated by dividing your height in inches by your body weight in pounds.
A healthy height to weight ratio should be around 2.66 (in/lbs) for men and 2.85 for women. This value will vary based on your height though, for example, shorter people will likely have higher ratios on average than tall people.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the formula:
\[ \text{H:W} = \frac{70}{150} = 0.47 \]
The Height to Weight Ratio is 0.47 in/lbs.
Let's assume the following values:
Step 1: Use the formula:
\[ \text{H:W} = \frac{65}{130} = 0.50 \]
The Height to Weight Ratio is 0.50 in/lbs.
