Blood volume, $V_{\mathcal{B}}$, in a human can be determined using the equation $V_{\mathcal{B}}=\dfrac{V_{\mathcal{P}}}{1-H}$, where $V_{\mathcal{P}}$ is the plasma volume and $H$ is the hematocrit (the fraction of blood volume that is red blood cells). Which of the following correctly expresses the hematocrit in terms of the blood volume and the plasma volume?
