1 in 8 ramp means: for every 8 units horizontal, there will be a rise of 1 unit.

Example: 8 feet of horizontal distance will slope upwards to a finish height of 1 foot.

or

1 meter of horizontal distance will slope upwards to a finish height of 125 mm.

In both examples height/horizontal length = 1/8 or 125/1000 = 1 in 8.

What is the minimum slope for a car ramp?

The recommended slope for straight ramps in situations such as:Half deck car parks where the vertical separation between decks is less than 1.5m, is 1:6. This relatively steep slope is only possible when using transition gradients top and bottom.Where vertical differences are greater than 1.5m, is not less than 1:10.Where ramps are curved, 1:10 or 1:12 depending on the separation.source: Irish parking associationRegulations for other countries may vary.

How is slope used in carpentry?

My roofer asked me what the slope of the roof was. It was an 8,12. That meant that the rise was 8 inches for 12 inches of run. A steeper roof would have more area and a flat roof would have less.At the corner I have to cut a 45 degree angle to make it match. That is a slope when turned flat of 1 over 1.The ramps in the USA have to be flatter than a slope of 1 over 10 and recommended to 1 over 12.
