A construction company is building an above-ground parking garage. From one end of the entrance ramp to the other, the rise is 10 feet and the run is 24 feet. A car cannot climb a ramp that has a slope with an absolute value of more than 0.55. Find the slope of the ramp in decimal form and round to the nearest hundredth. Can cars climb the ramp?

2.4; yes

0.42; yes

2.4; no

0.42; no

impatient much?

Do you recall the definition of slope?
slope = rise/run = 10/24 = 0.417

i rlly need help and fast

pls

please help

thx

To find the slope of the ramp, we divide the rise (vertical distance) by the run (horizontal distance). In this case, the rise is 10 feet and the run is 24 feet.

Slope = rise / run = 10 / 24 ≈ 0.41667

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the slope of the ramp is approximately 0.42.

Now, we compare the absolute value of the slope (0.42) to the maximum allowable slope of 0.55.

Since the slope of the ramp (0.42) is less than the maximum allowable slope (0.55), cars can climb the ramp.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

0.42; yes
