Question

The ratio of the height of a skateboard ramp to the length ofthe skateboard ramp is 1 to 6. The height of the ramp is 30 feet.What is the length of the ramp?O 5 ft.O 36 ft.O 90 ftO 180 ft

Answer 1

If the ratio of the height to the length is 1 to 6, we can write the following equation:

`(height)/(length)=(1)/(6)`

The height is equal to 30 ft, so let's solve the equation for the length:

`\begin{gathered} (30)/(length)=(1)/(6)\\ \\ length=30\cdot6\\ \\ length=180\text{ ft} \end{gathered}`

The length is equal to 180 ft, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.
