Question

Lindsey is practicing her downhill skiing. Slope A descends 15 vertical feet for every 24 horizontal feet. Slipped B descends 12 vertical feet for every 16 horizontal feet. If Lindsey prefers to skip on a steelers hill, which should she choose, and why?
(Please write the function)

Answer 1

Answer:

She should ski on Slope B because it is steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope A

We need to find the "slope"

15/24 = 5/8  

Slope B

12/16 = 3/4

To compare, we need a common denominator

5/8    3/4*2/2

5/8     6/8

    <

Slope B is steeper because the slope  is greater

She should ski on Slope B because it is steeper
