Question
Is divided between A and B in such a way that A gets half of B. Find :
(i) the ratio between the shares of A and B.
(ii) the share of A and the share of B.
Solution
Total amount to be divided between A and B = ₹ 300
(i) A gets half of B
Hence, ratio between A and B = `1/2` = 1 :2
(ii) Sum of ratios = 1 + 2 = 3
∴ A' shares = `(300 xx 1)/3 = 100`
∴ B' share = `(300 xx 2)/3 = 200`

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 |
