Question

The steepness or grade of a road is expressed as a percent. if a road rises 3 feet for every 24 horizontal feet. What is the slope of the road? what percent grade is this ?

Answer 1

So slope is equal to rise over run so in this case 3/24 which is 1/8(The slope). I assume percent grade is percent of incline so 1/8=12.5%
