Roof pitch is almost always expressed as inches per foot (so some # over 12-inches).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Given 12/15, we need to get it in terms of x /12:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "12/15 = x/12
\n" ); document.write( "144/15 = x
\n" ); document.write( " 9.6 = x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the roof pitch is \"9.6 inches per foot\" or 9.6 / 12\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
