Question

Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

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

Step-by-step 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

$\dfrac{13}{33}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1300}{33}\\\\=39.39\%$

Path B

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

Mountain path grade would be

$\dfrac{3}{4.27}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{300}{4.27}\\\\=70.25\%$

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