A wheelchair ramp requires a minimum 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 ramp’s height-to-length ratio. Write the proportion in fraction form without reducing it to the lowest terms. (1 point)
(boxed) blank=blank
$\frac{\text{required height-to-length ratio}}{\text{ramp's height-to-length ratio}}=\frac{1}{12}$.
Can you write it like num=num or somthin
(Required height-to-length ratio) = (ramp's height-to-length ratio)
1 = 12
that's wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Here is the corrected proportion:
$\frac{\text{required height-to-length ratio}}{\text{ramp's height-to-length ratio}} = \frac{1}{12}$
no 1 and 12 is wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Here is the correct proportion:
$\frac{\text{required height}}{\text{required length}} = \frac{\text{ramp's height}}{\text{ramp's length}}$
no right it like num=num
I apologize for the confusion. Here is the proportion in the format you requested:
Required height-to-length ratio = Ramp's height-to-length ratio
1:12 = height: length
To write the proportion in fraction form without reducing it to the lowest terms, we can use the following format:
(height of required ramp / length of required ramp) = (height of actual ramp / length of actual ramp)
Given that the required height-to-length ratio is 1:12, we can fill in the proportions using the provided information:
(2.2 ft / 26.4 ft) = (height of actual ramp / length of actual ramp)
Now the proportion is set up.
