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)

Question

Answer 1

The required height-to-length ratio is 1:12.

The ramp’s height-to-length ratio is 2.2:26.4.

Therefore, the proportion can be written as:

1/12 = 2.2/26.4
