by increasing distance over which the force is applied
An inclined plane is a surface that is not horizontal (level), with one end higher than the other. Pushing a broken down car is much easier and takes less effort downhill, than to push the same car uphill.
A simple machine. You know, inclined plane, lever, pulley, screw, wheel, or a wedge.
A force machine does not reduce the amount of work that has to be done
Because the force of gravity is no longer straight down on the object, it is at an angle. thus when you have a ramp some of the force due to gravity is dispersed in the x plane, causing the force down on the y plane (vertical) due to gravity ( mass x gravity) to be less thus decreasing the amount of force needed to lift.

Reduce the friction
When a person is using an inclined plane it decreases the amount of force needed to move the object.

It requires less force to move an object up an inclined plane if the slope is less steep.
the less steep it is the less force you will need

By reducing friction [rolling instead of dragging across a surface]By decreasing the amount of force needed to perform an action (at the cost of reducing the amount of action) [levers, inclined plane]
