    Answer: yes, 4in / 15 in < 4in / 18 in

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    6 feet of horizontal distance for every 1 foot,

    ramp shown has a vertical rise of 5 feet.

    Therefore

    M ≤ 1foot / 6 feet

    Converting both to a single units of (inches)

    M ≤ 12 inches / 72 inches

    Dividing by 4

    M ≤ 4 inches / 18 inches

    Where 5 feet = 60 inches

    12 inches / 60 inches

    = 4 inches / 15 inches

    Therefore:

    4in / 15 in < 4inch / 18 inch

    The condition states the ramp has to be at least 6feet, what this means is it has to be between 0-6 so since it is lesser. Yes it meets the recommendations.
