Hip to Waist Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Hip to Waist Ratio.
HWR = H / W
- Where HWR is the Hip to Waist Ratio (hip:1(waist))
- H is the hip measurement (in)
- W is the total waist measurement (in)
How to Calculate Hip to Waist Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Hip to Waist Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the hip measurement (in).
- The hip measurement (in) is given as: 28.
- Next, determine the total waist measurement (in).
- The total waist measurement (in) is provided as: 32.
- Finally, calculate the Hip to Waist Ratio using the equation above:
HWR = H / W
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
HWR = 28 / 32 = .875 (hip:1(waist))
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
hip measurement (in) = 26
total waist measurement (in) = 30
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
HWR = H / W = ?
