SOLUTION:
In this question, we are given the following:
Step 2:
The details of the solution are as follows:
The rules for wheelchair ramps require a maximum 1 -inch rise for a 12 -inch run.
How far, x, must the ramp run ( in inches) to accommodate a 24- inch rise to the door?
This means that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{12}=\frac{24}{x} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]
cross-multiply, we have that:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1(x)\text{ = 12(24)} \\ x\text{ = 12 x 24 } \\ x\text{ = 288 inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]
This means that the correct option is:
