The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the slope of a wheelchair ramp be no greater than 1:12. Which of the following is the minimum length of a ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk?

A. 12 feet

B. 4.5 feet

C. 3 feet

D. 18 feet

Answer Explanation:

We use the given slope to find the minimum length of the ramp. In this case, slope is the ratio of height to length of the lamp. Thus,

If we let x be the minimum length of the ramp. Then,

Substituting the value of slope into the above equation results in,

Solve for value of x by cross-products

X = 18 Feet

Thus, the minimum length of the ramp needed to provide access to a door that is 1.5 high is 18 feet.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: Solve for A in the equation below. Diagram:

A. A = t(kr+P)

B. A = (kr+P)/t

C. A = P-kr/t

D. A = kr-t/P

Answer Explanation

P-At=-kr

Subtract P on both sides

P-P-At=-kr-P

-At=-kr-P

Divide both sides by -t

-At/-t=(-kr-P)/-t

A=(kr+P)/t
Q #2: Japheth’s uncle is 10 less than three times Japheth’s age. Which of the equations represents Japheth’s uncle’s age (u) as it relates to Japheth’s age (k)?

A. u=10-3k

B. u=3k-10

C. k=3u-10

D. k=10-3u

Answer Explanation

We are asked to determine Japheth’s uncle’s age relating to Japheth’s age.

First, express Japheth’s uncle’s age in terms of Japheth’s age as follows

Japheth’s age=k

Japheth’s uncle’s age, u = 3k-10.

Thus, the relationship between Japheth’s uncle’s age to that of Japheth is u=3k-10.
Q #3: Which of the following values is the greatest?

A. 3/7

B. 6.98

C. 10/7

D. 9.2

Answer Explanation

To find the greatest number from the given options, convert the decimal numbers into fractions.

6.98 becomes 698/100

9.2 becomes 92/10

The least common denominator for the denominators of 7, 100 and 10 is 700. Now we can multiply each fraction with 700 as follows:

3/7*700=300

698/100*700=4886

10/7*700=1000

92/10*700=6440

In order from the smallest to largest, we organize the number set as follows:

3/7, 10/7, 6.98, 9.2.

Thus, 9.2 is the greatest of all.
