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?

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

In this case, we use a calculator to estimate the positive square root of 42.

Then, multiplying the square root above with 6 becomes

Then, the approximate value of 6 time the positive square root of 42 is 38.9.

we need to find the price of the stock on Thursday.

First, find the price changes in each day of the week as follows:

Monday’s price was $45.32

Tuesday’s price went up by $3.25 from Monday’s price. The price was $(45.32+3.25)=$48.57

Wednesday’s price decreased by $1.73 from Tuesday’s price, and so the price of the stock was $(48.57-1.73)=$46.84

Thursday’s price increased by $0.89 from Wednesday’s price, which was $(46.84+0.89)=$47.73

Therefore, the stock price on Thursday was $47.73.

To simplify this expression, we follow the order of operations as follows:

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[2(6+3*9)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 3 * 9 = 27. The expression becomes

[2(6+27)]

Then, we carry out the addition of 6+27=33. Then, the expression yields

[2(33)]=2*33=66

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 6/2=3.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 22.

By inspection, we find the corresponding values of the given denominations in the following manner.

The slope represents the ratio of rise to run. Let p be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a ratio equation as follows. Then,

The minimum length of the ramp needed is 18 feet to access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk.

The median of the data set is the number that falls in the middle position after arranging the numbers in the data set in the ascending order.

-6, -4, 1, 8, 12

There are 5 numbers in the given data set, therefore the median falls in the third position from either side. Inspecting the data set, 1 fall in the third position, which is the median for the given data set.

The sides of a right-angled triangle are determined by the Pythagoras theorem. If we let the unknown side to x as in the figure below, then theory is applied as follows.  

The value of x is found as:

The value of the unknown leg side of a triangle is about 9.8 feet.

The number of boxes to fit the room is found as volume of the room divided by the volume of the box.

Number of boxes:

\(\frac{volume\ of\ the\ room}{volume\ of\ the\ box} = \frac{12ft\ *\\ 12ft\ *\ 12ft}{2.5ft\ *\ 2.5t\ *\ 2.5ft}\ =\ 110.592\)

The approximate number of boxes that can be stored in the room is approximately 111 square feet.

9/20 is the same as 9 divided by 20, which is evaluated 9÷20. The value becomes 0.45.

Thus, 9/20 is equal to 0.45.
