Answer:
The new ramp must be 54 inches long than the old ramp to meet the requirement of the new law
Step-by-step explanation:
Old height to length ratio is:
h : l = 2 : 15.
Height of old ramp h = 12
Length of old ramp can be find out by putting h = 12 in the above ratio
Length of old ramp = 90
Height to length ratio by current law:
h : l = 1 : 12
Height will be the same i.e. h = 12
Length of new ramp = 144
How much longer the new ramp should be to meet the new ratio law:
New length - Old length = 144 - 90 = 54 inches
