a wheelchair ramp requires a minimum of 1:12 ratio of height to length meaning a ramp with a height of 2.2 feet requires a length of 26.4 feet use a proportion to describe the relationship between the required height to length ratio and the ramps height to length ratio write the proportion in fraction from without reducing it to the lowest terms
Let h be the height of the ramp and L be the length of the ramp.
According to the requirements, the ramp should have a height to length ratio of 1:12. Therefore, we can write the proportion as:
h/L = 1/12
For a ramp with a height of 2.2 feet, the proportion will be:
2.2/L = 1/12
This is the proportion that describes the relationship between the required height to length ratio and the actual ramp's height to length ratio.
