Question

The U.S. Department of Justice's 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards of Accessible Design require that the number of van-accessible parking spaces compared to the number of designated accessible parking spaces be one out of every six.

Most Costco parking lots average 4 designed van accessible spaces. Based on the 1:6 ADA ratio, how many parking spaces in the lot are designed as simyple accessible?​

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

If there are 6 designated accessible parking spaces for every 1 van-accessible parking space, then there are 6 times as many designated accessible parking spaces as van-accessible parking spaces.

If the average number of intended van-accessible spaces in Costco parking lots is 4, then the total number of authorized accessible spaces may be calculated as follows:

6 x 4 = 24

As a result, a typical Costco parking lot has 24 designated accessible parking spots, including 4 van-accessible spaces.
