Given:

The diagram of the ramp is shown in the image.

The vertical distance Rise (R) of the ramp = 3.

The horizontal distance Run (r) of the ramp = 10.

Required:

The slope(m) of the ramp.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the ramp is calculated by dividing the Rise by the Run.

Therefore, the slope of the ramp is,


\begin{gathered} m=(R)/(r) \\ m=(3)/(10) \end{gathered}

Final Answer:

The slope (m) of the ramp is,


m=(3)/(10)

Option C is correct.
