Question

An Access Ramp to a freeway extends horizontally a distance of 80 feet while it rises a total of 15 feet . Find the Slope of the Access Ramp. A) 16/3 B) 19/16 C) 65 D) 3/16 E) 95​

Answer 1

D.

Explanation:

Slope is rise over run by definition, and we are given the values for each in the problem. The run is 80 and the rise is 15 so

`m=(15)/(80)=(3)/(16)`
