One state guideline for safewheelchair ramp construction requires 25 ft. of horizontal distance for every 1 foot vertical drop/rise. The A.D.A. is a national organization of disabled people. They set safe ramp slopes between 3% and 5%. I'm to show how the state above is in compliance with A.D.A. (or not).do i take the fraction 1/25 and divide the percents to get two seerate answers to show if it's in compliance at 3 and 5 %?  thanks! </SPAN>\n" );
