First, you write the proportion equation, where W = waist size and H = hip size in inches.
where k is the constant of proportionality. You need to find the value of k and this can be done using the given example of the woman whose hip size is 40 inches (H = 40) and whose waist size is 32 inches (W = 32). Substitute the values in the first equation and solve for k.
Divide both sides by 40.
Reduce the fraction.

Now the final equation is:

So, for a woman with 35-inch hips, the ideal waist size would be:

inches.
