Question

what is the biggest that ramonas waist measurement can be to reduce her risk of disease? remember that she is 57 tall. a. 25 ½ inches b. 33 ¼ inches c. 35 inches d. 40 inches

Explanation:

Step1: Convert height to inches

Since 1 foot = 12 inches, 5 feet 7 inches = \(5\times12 + 7=60 + 7 = 67\) inches.

Step2: Recall waist - height ratio for disease risk

For women, a waist - height ratio of less than 0.5 is associated with lower disease risk. Let the waist measurement be \(w\). We want \(w<0.5\times67\).

Step3: Calculate the value

\(0.5\times67 = 33.5\) inches.

Answer:

b. 33 ½ inches
