Question

Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.

Path A

for every 33 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 13 meters

Path B

for every 4.27 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 3 meters

Answer 1

Answer: Path A grade is 39.39% and Path B is 70.25%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Path A

for every 33 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 13 meters.

Mountain path grade would be

`(13)/(33)* 100\\\\=(1300)/(33)\\\\=39.39\%`

Path B

for every 4.27 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 3 meters.

Mountain path grade would be

`(3)/(4.27)* 100\\\\=(300)/(4.27)\\\\=70.25\%`

Hence, Path A grade is 39.39% and Path B is 70.25%.
