Carefully. Do you have a hand saw or table saw? In either case, set the
blade to the angle you want and rip the length of it. If using a handsaw,
you may want to tack nail it to another 2x so you have support and can put a
guide for the blade. Tablesaw makes this a simple task. If you don't have
one, perhaps a neighbor will do it for you.

Re-thinking this, the only one needed to be cut would be the bottom one.
The rest can be nailed in at the same angle as the stringers.

With a circular saw and a good blade.

Change the direction of the deck boards. Have the sleepers parallel to
the shed door, rip the top edge at the correct angle and have them step
down to grade.

Unless the ramp ends on a paved surface, I would just dig
trenches for the ends of the runners to sit in.
