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)
The proportion that relates the required height-to-length ratio to the ramp's actual height-to-length ratio can be written as:
Required height-to-length ratio / Ramp's height-to-length ratio = 1 / 12
In fraction form without reducing it to the lowest terms, the proportion would be:
(Required height-to-length ratio) * 12 = (Ramp's height-to-length ratio) * 1
