I believe there is a picture of the situation missing, but we still have all the info necessary to solve.
We take the height, 5, and divide by the slope, 1/12, getting 60. This is the length of the ramp.
60 feet

A wheelchair ramp is to be built beside the steps to the campus library. Find the angle of elevation of the 20-foot ramp, to the nearest tenth of a degree, if its final height is 5 feet.
