Answer:

1/12

Explanation:

The slope of a ramp (or anything else) is the ratio of its "rise" to its "run."

The rise is the vertical change. Here, that is shown as 3 m.

The run is the horizontal change. Here, that is shown as 36 m.

Then the slope is ...

`\text{slope }=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}=\frac{3\text{ m}}{36\text{ m}}=\boxed{(1)/(12)}`

Additional comment

If this were a line on a graph, the slope would be calculated the same way. When the rise is positive to the right, the slope is positive. On a graph, if the rise is negative as you go to the right, the slope is negative.
