Question

(Apex 2.2.4 math 8) PLEASE I'M SO LOST

Answer 1

Answer: 1.) The slope of the longer ramp is 1/12

2.) The longer ramp from the ground to the landing is steeper. 1/12 is steeper than 1/18. A graph of the slope shows this. See attachment.

3.) If you know the run, you can find the rise by multiplying the run by the slope.

4.) The rise from the landing to the door is 1/2 foot or 6 inches.

5.) The total height of the door above the ground is 2 ft or 24 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: Sometimes it helps to draw a sketch of the info given then make notes as you find solutions. (See in attachments)

1.) 1:5/18. Multiply by 2/2. It becomes 3/36. simplify to 1/12

4.) Multiplying 9ft by 1/18

It's the same as dividing 9÷18= 0.5 ft. OR  9 feet is 108 inches. 108÷18 = 6 inches

5.) Given height, ground to landing: 1.5 ft plus calculated  0.5ft = 2 ft.

OR 18 inches + 6 inches = 24 inches

Answer 2

:0 that’s so much typing man congrats if you actually wrote and typed all that i wouldn’t think anyone would actually help you.! cuz that’s so much to read or maybe i’m just lazy IDBSIKDJDUWKDN
