Question

Professional plumbers suggest that a sewer pipe should be sloped 0.25 inch for every foot. find the recommended slope for a sewer pipe

Answer 1

We have been given that professional plumbers suggest that a sewer pipe should be sloped 0.25 inch for every foot.

Therefore, we can find the slope as:

`\text{Slope}=\frac{0.25\text{ inch}}{\text{1 foot}}=\frac{0.25\text{ inch}}{\text{12 inch}}`

`\text{Slope}=(0.25)/(12)=(25)/(1200)=(1)/(48)`

Therefore, the recommended slope for a sewer pipe is
`(1)/(48)`
