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 b between the required height-to-length ratio and the ramps height-to-length ratio. Write the proportion in fraction form without reducing it to the lowest terms
Let's represent the required height-to-length ratio as b.
The ramp's actual height-to-length ratio is 2.2:26.4.
Hence, the proportion between the required and actual height-to-length ratios is:
b/1 = 2.2/26.4
Writing it in fraction form without reducing to the lowest terms:
b/1 = 11/132
