Question

a moving conveyor is built to rise 1 ,meter for each 3 meters of horizontal change.
a. find the slope of the conveyor
b.suppose the conveyor runs between two floors in a factory.find the length of the conveyor if the vertical distance between floors is 10 feet.

Answer 1

If you use a slope rise over run concept. First if this is correct then you need to convert fron 10 feet into meters. There are 39 inches in a meter or 3 feet 3 inches convert the 10 feet by dividing and then you can figure as a ratio. 3 meters equal around 10 feet so the length should be around 9 meters or 27 feet.
