Question

Question 5 options:

Plumbers use a slope of ¼" per foot to ensure the proper flow in waste pipes. Use a proportion to calculate the amount of fall that a pipe should have if it is 30'-6" long. (Write your answer as a simplified proper fraction or mixed number. Give your answer in inches but do not type in any units.)

The pipe should fall

Answer 1

7.625 inches = fall

Explanation:

slope or gradient formula

(Length of fall) / (Length of the pipe) = (Slope)

Let's plug in the values:

(X inches) / (30.5 feet) = 1/4 inch per foot

Now, cross-multiply:

X = (30.5 feet) * (1/4 inch per foot)X =

7.625 inches
