Question

Every 1 inch of vertical rise, 12 inches ramp length is required. What is the ramp length required for the rise of 10.5?

Answer 1

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

Explanation:

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
