To calculate the height per weight ratio:
\[ HPW = \frac{H}{W} \]
Where:
Height per weight is a ratio that represents the proportion of height to weight. It is a simple way to assess the distribution of body mass in relation to height. This ratio can be useful in various fields such as health and fitness, ergonomics, and clothing design to understand body proportions.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ HPW = \left(\frac{70}{150}\right) \approx 0.47 \text{ inches per pound} \]
The height per weight ratio is approximately 0.47 inches per pound.
