Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}[/tex].
Plug in the information given:
[tex]\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{\text{ Run }}[/tex].
Now we want to solve this equation for Run.
If you don't like Run as a variable, let's just use x in it's place:
[tex]\frac{1}{20}=\frac{6}{x}[/tex]
Cross multiply:
[tex]1(x)=20(6)[/tex]
Simplify both sides:
[tex]x=120[/tex]
The run is 120.
Let's check our work.
[tex]\text{ Slope }=\frac{\text{ Rise }}{\text{ Run }}[/tex].
So if our rise is 6 and our run is 120.
Does 6/120 reduce to 1/20?
6 and 120 do have a common factor of 6.
So if you divide top and bottom of 6/120 by 6 you do get 1/20.
Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
We'd need to set up an equation to find the run:
Note: Rise over run is already the slope, we are only locating the missing part, which is "run"
6/x = 1/20
We'd have to multiply the denominator by x to get rid of it:
6/x * x = 6
x * 1/20 = 1/20 x
Divide both sides by 1/20:
6/(1/20)
6 * 20/1
120
Our run is 120
