Answer 1

In this question, we are given the following:

Step 2:

The details of the solution are as follows:

The rules for wheelchair ramps require a maximum 1 -inch rise for a 12 -inch run.

How far, x, must the ramp run ( in inches) to accommodate a 24- inch rise to the door?

This means that:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(12)=(24)/(x) \\ \end{gathered}`

cross-multiply, we have that:

`\begin{gathered} 1(x)\text{ = 12(24)} \\ x\text{ = 12 x 24 } \\ x\text{ = 288 inches} \end{gathered}`

This means that the correct option is:
