Sodium to Potassium Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Sodium to Potassium Ratio.
SPR = S / P
- Where SPR is the Sodium to Potassium Ratio (sodium:potassium)
- S is the total amount of sodium
- P is the total amount of potassium
How to Calculate Sodium to Potassium Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Sodium to Potassium Ratio.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the total amount of sodium.
- The total amount of sodium is given as: 50.
- Next, determine the total amount of potassium.
- The total amount of potassium is provided as: 500.
- Finally, calculate the Sodium to Potassium Ratio using the equation above:
SPR = S / P
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
SPR = 50 / 500 = .10 : 1 (sodium:potassium)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables required are provided below:
total amount of sodium = 60
total amount of potassium = 700
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
SPR = S / P = ?
