Question

what does a slope of $\frac{1}{12}$ indicate about a ramp?
a. nearly vertical
b. very gentle decline
c. gentle incline
d. very steep

Explanation:

Slope is calculated as $\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}$. A slope of $\frac{1}{12}$ means for every 12 units of horizontal run, there is 1 unit of vertical rise. A positive slope indicates an incline. Since the value of the slope ($\frac{1}{12}\approx0.083$) is small, the incline is gentle.

Answer:

C. Gentle incline
