Current law requires that wheelchair ramps have a height to length ratio of 1: 12 and old ramp has a height to length ratio of 2: 21 its height is 8 inches workers replace this ramp with a new one that has the same height how much longer must a new ramp be to meet the ramp ratio required by law?

answer: do you still need this?

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
