Question

Two cities are separated by 200 miles. City X has an altitude of 122 meters and City Y has an altitude of 260 meters. Calculate the altitude gradient between the two cites.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.69 m/ mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude gradient between two cities X and Y =
`\frac{\text{Altitude of City Y - Altitude of city X}}{\text{Distance between two cities}}*100\%`

Given: Two cities are separated by 200 miles.

City X has an altitude of 122 meters.

City Y has an altitude of 260 meters.

The altitude gradient between two cities X and Y =

`(260-122)/(200)=0.69\text{m/ mile}`

Hence, the altitude gradient between the two cites = 0.69 m/ mile.
