Your Answer

John built a ramp using 6 blocks and a board.

He wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 3 blocks.
Where on the number line does the this tower belong?

Solution
For every 12 units on the number line, the board rises by 6 blocks.
We are given the ratio of position : blocks :: 12 : 6.

Let n = the tower position.
Equation setup:

n = 6

Answer based on the diagram

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

Jennifer built a ramp with 3 blocks on one end and 9 blocks on the other end.

She wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 6 blocks.
Where on the number line does this tower belong?

Solution
From position 0 to position 16, the ramp rises from 3 blocks to 9 blocks.
This means that for every 16 units on the number line, the board rises by 9 - 3, or 6, blocks.

Let n = the tower position.
For every n units, the board rises 6 - 3, or 3, blocks.
Equation setup:

n = 8

Your Answer

Paul built a ramp with 2 blocks on one end and 12 blocks on the other end.

He wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 4 blocks.
Where on the number line does this tower belong?

Solution
From position 0 to position 5, the ramp rises from 2 blocks to 12 blocks.
This means that for every 5 units on the number line, the board rises by 12 - 2, or 10, blocks.

Let n = the tower position.
For every n units, the board rises 4 - 2, or 2, blocks.
Equation setup:

n = 1

Answer based on the diagram

Problem

Correct Answer

Your Answer

Maria built a ramp with 1 block on one end and 15 blocks on the other end.

She wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 11 blocks.
Where on the number line does this tower belong?

Solution
From position 0 to position 7, the ramp rises from 1 block to 15 blocks.
This means that for every 7 units on the number line, the board rises by 15 - 1, or 14, blocks.

Let n = the tower position.
For every n units, the board rises 11 - 1, or 10, blocks.
Equation setup:

n = 5

Tiffany built a ramp with 2 blocks on one end and 8 blocks on the other end.

She wants to add support to the ramp with a tower of 3 blocks.
Where on the number line does this tower belong?

Solution
From position 0 to position 18, the ramp rises from 2 blocks to 8 blocks.
This means that for every 18 units on the number line, the board rises by 8 - 2, or 6, blocks.

Let n = the tower position.
For every n units, the board rises 3 - 2, or 1, blocks.
Equation setup:

n = 3
