Answer:

It is much easier to run up a ramp with a slope of 1/5

Explanation:

Since a slope of 5 is much steeper than a slope of 1/5, it would be easier to run up that ramp.

it would be more difficult to run up a slope of 5 because it would be steeper. with a 1/5 slope you would have a rise over run but with a slope of 5 it would just be all rise
