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?

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.

To find the probability of an event, we use the following the formula

To find the probability of drawing the red ball, we need to find the total number of balls in the bag.

Total number of balls in the bag=6+3+5=14 balls

The probability of drawing a red ball from the bag is 3/14.

we are asked to find the number of gallons a full tank holds. A full tank is treated as 1 whole.

Letting x be the number of gallons in full tank and setting the proportion equation with the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

x 1 full tank=185 gallons23full tank

A full tank holds 27/5 gallons, which when converted to a mixed fraction is 5 2/5.

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

A dependent variable is one that changes when another variable changes. In this case, the cost of the phone will change depending on the change inbrand name, size of the RAM, and size of the battery. Thus, cost of a phone is a dependent variable.

we are asked to find the amount of milk in mL using the given information.

If we let x represent the amount of milk in mL, we set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.

A recipe of 3.4 teaspoons is equal to 17.0 mL.

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 use the relation 1 L=1000 mL and organize our equation in such a way that L cancels as:

Thus, 0.65 L is 650 mL.

percentages are fractions with denominator equal to 100. Then, in decimal form:

The decimal form of 67.9% is 0.679.

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.
