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?

Amount of salary will vary if the other three variables change. Therefore, salary is a dependent variable.

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.

we are to use the pie chart to find the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care.

Letting x represent the number of students enrolled in dental hygiene care, we set the proportion equation with number of students as numerator and percentage as denominator. It should be noted that the whole pie chart represents 100% of the 800 students. Then,

We solve the value of x by cross-products.

Therefore, 144 students will enroll for a dental hygiene program.

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.

we are asked to find the percent change in weight gain of a person.

First, we need to find the change in weight gained over the 4 months

Change in weight= 186-176=10 lb

The percent change is expressed as change in weight over original weight *100. Then

The percent change in weight is 6% to the nearest whole number.

in this case, we express James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age. From the equation:

James’ age is n

James’s uncle’s age is m=3n-13

Thus, the relation that relates James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age is m=3n-13.

Choice A: 2 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 48 + 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: (2 * $15) + (2 * $5) = $30 + $10 = $40
• This choice not only meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks but also offers the best value in terms of cost per drink, making it the most cost-effective option.

Choice B: 3 packs of Root Beer

• Total drinks: 3 * 24 = 72 drinks
• Total cost: 3 * $14 = $42
• While this choice meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks, it's not the most cost-effective, as it costs $42for 72 drinks.

Choice C: 1 pack of Orange, 2 packs of Root Beer, and 1 pack of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 24 + 48 + 12 = 84 drinks
• Total cost: $9 + (2 * $14) + $5 = $9 + $28 + $5 = $42
• This choice provides more than 60 drinks, but it's not the most cost-effective due to its higher cost of $42, same as choice B.

Choice D: 4 packs of Cream Soda

• Total drinks: 4 * 12 = 48 drinks
• Total cost: 4 * $5 = $20
• While this choice is the most cost effective, it falls short of providing the desired number of drinks.

we are asked to find the area of a rectangle, which can only be found by finding the relation between length and width. Now, letting x represent the width, then

Length of rectangle=(x+2)

Width of the rectangle= x

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+2)*x

A=x(x+2)

Therefore, the area of the rectangle becomes x(x+2).

We are tasked to find the unknown values of x in the given equation.

First, we add 8 to both sides of the equation.

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

If   , a>0, then u=a or u=-a

From our resulting equation, a=14, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition (u=a) becomes

Solving for x

The second condition (u= -a) becomes

Solving for x

Thus, the value of x is 4 or -3

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.
