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 required to find the units of finding the weight of a sheet of paper. The SI unit of mass of an object is kilogram. However, kilogram is a large quantity that cannot be used to measure smaller objects.

Thus, derived units of mass are used to find the mass of other objects. In this case, the mass of a sheet paper can be recorded in grams.

notice that the question compares the cup of flour and the cup of milk. We can therefore set up our ratios as cup of floorcup of milk. If we let the x be the number of cups of milk needed, then

As a mixed fraction, 70/3 becomes 23 1/3, which represents the number of cups of milk needed to make a big batch of 5 cups.

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.

The scientist found that as water temperature increases, the fish population decreases. This means that the two variables move in opposite directions—when one increases, the other decreases.

This type of relationship is called a negative correlation.

A histogram will be appropriate to represent the time the students wake up every day of the week. The histogram is used to represent the frequency of the variable with another variable. In our case the vertical axis will represent the number of students (frequency) while the time of waking up on the horizontal axis.

we are tasked to find the number of cups of flour that will be used to make 90 cookies.

This is a proportion equation, and letting x be the number of cups of flour we set the equation as follows:

Solve the value of x by cross-products

Next, we convert the mixed fraction into improper fraction in order to carry out multiplication

The baker needs 15.75 cups of flour to make 120 cookies.  15.75 in mixed fraction is  

We are asked to convert kg to pounds using the given relation. If we let x to represent the lb we are asked to find, we set the proportion equation with kg on numerator and lb on the denominator as follows.

The equivalent value of 55kg is 121 lb.

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.

we need to find the circumference of the circle from the given area.

The first step is to find the radius of the circle using the given area. Let r be the radius of the circle, then:

Substituting the value of area in the above equation becomes

Dividing both sides by pi and taking square root on both sides yields

Now, we know the radius of circle to be  9 in, the circumference of the circle becomes,

  in.

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.
