Problema Solution
An inclined walkway leading to a new building is to rise 2 foot for each horizontal distance of 24 feet. Calculate this slope
Answer provided by our tutors
Slope is defined as "rise" over "run", or vertical change divided by horizontal change
The walkway goes up 2 feet when the horizontal distance increases by 24 feet
The slope is then 2 feet / 24 feet = 1/12
