Acid Base Titration

An acid-base titration is the method of quantitative analysis for determining the concentration of an acid and base by exactly neutralizing it with a standard solution of base or acid having known concentration.

Question

The pH of blood is 7.4. What is the ratio (to one decimal place) of bicarbonate (conjugate base) to
carbonic acid (weak acid) in the blood's buffering equilibrium? Note, the K₂ of carbonic acid is 4.27
