The diagram and table provided involve a roof slope with "Rise" and "Run." The table asks to complete the pitch (slope) of the roof, represented as a ratio (rise:12).

### Given:
- **Rise**: 14 feet 11 inches (which is equivalent to 14 + 11/12 feet = 14.9167 feet).
- **Run**: 25 feet.
- We need to find the ratio of rise to run in the form \( \frac{rise}{run} \), and then convert it to a "rise:12" format.

#### Step 1: Calculate the pitch as a ratio of rise to run
The pitch (or slope) is calculated as:
\[
\text{Pitch} = \frac{\text{Rise}}{\text{Run}} = \frac{14.9167 \, \text{ft}}{25 \, \text{ft}}.
\]
Let me calculate this pitch.The pitch of the roof is approximately \( 0.597 \) (or 0.5967 when more precise).

#### Step 2: Convert this pitch into the format "rise:12"
To find the value for a rise:12 ratio, multiply the pitch by 12:
\[
\text{rise:12} = 0.597 \times 12.
\]
Let me calculate that next.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, here’s how you can complete the calculation:
- Multiply the pitch (0.597) by 12 to get the "rise:12" value.
- \( 0.597 \times 12 \approx 7.164 \).

So, the ratio for the roof slope would be approximately **7.16:12**.

Here are some related questions to consider:
1. How do you convert inches to feet when calculating roof slope?
2. What are other common pitch ratios for roofs?
3. How do different roof pitches affect water runoff?
4. How does the length of the run impact the stability of a roof?
5. Can a roof's rise:run ratio impact the building's energy efficiency?

**Tip**: Always ensure accurate unit conversions (like feet to inches) when calculating slopes or pitches.

Complete the table based on the provided roof diagram showing rise and run dimensions.
