2. A wheelchair ramp rises 3 feet over a distance of 15 feet. What is the slope of this ra
2.
C. 5
b. 6549 15
d. 1 5
The slope of a ramp is given by the rise over the run. In this case, the rise is 3 feet and the run is 15 feet. Therefore, the slope is 3/15 or 1/5.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. 1/5
To find the slope of the wheelchair ramp, we need to use the formula for slope which is:
slope = rise / run
In this case, the rise of the wheelchair ramp is 3 feet and the run (or distance) is 15 feet. So, the slope of the ramp is:
slope = 3 / 15 = 1/5
Therefore, the correct answer is:
d. 1/5
To find the slope of this ramp, we need to use the formula:
Slope = Rise / Run
In this case, the rise of the ramp is 3 feet, and the run is 15 feet.
So, the slope of the ramp is:
Slope = 3 / 15
To calculate this, divide 3 by 15:
Slope = 0.2
Therefore, the slope of this ramp is 0.2.
From the choices provided, none of the options matches the calculated slope of 0.2.
