Question

A mountain road rises 8 feet for a 42 foot run. What is the slope?

Answer 1

Slope = 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:
`\text{Slope = }(rise)/(run)`
`\begin{gathered} \text{rise = 8 f}et \\ \text{run = 42 foot} \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} \text{Slope = }(8)/(42) \\ Slo\text{pe }=\text{ }(4)/(21) \\ \text{Slope = 0.1905} \\ To\text{ two decimal place, slope = 0.19} \end{gathered}`
