Question

A wheelchair ramp requires a minimum 1:12 ratio of height to length, meaning a ramp with a height of 2.2 feet requires a length of 26.4 feet. Use a proportion to describe the relationship between the required height-to-length ratio and the ramp’s height-to-length ratio. Write the proportion in fraction form without reducing it to the lowest terms. (1 point)

Answer 2

Let x be the required height-to-length ratio and y be the actual height-to-length ratio of the ramp.

We know that x = 1/12 and the height of the ramp is h. The length of the ramp would be l, which we can solve for using the given ratio:

x = h/l (required height-to-length ratio)
1/12 = 2.2/l (actual height-to-length ratio)

To create a proportion, we set the two ratios equal to each other:

x = 1/12 = h/l = y

So the proportion is:

1/12 = h/l = y
