You will require 126 inches of ramp for a rise of 10.5

Evaluate the word problem

If your verticle rise is 10.5 inches for every 1 inch of that 10.5 you have 12 inches. This is written into an equation as follows;

x: How many inches of vertical rise you have,

y: Length of ramp required

y = 12x

Solve:

y = 12x

y = 12(10.5)

y = 126 inches of ramp

Hope this helps
