Answer:

She should ski on Slope B because it is steeper

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope A

We need to find the "slope"

15/24 = 5/8  


Slope B

12/16 = 3/4


To compare, we need a common denominator

5/8    3/4*2/2

5/8     6/8

    <

Slope B is steeper because the slope  is greater

She should ski on Slope B because it is steeper
