Answer: The slope of the road is \frac{1}{12} or 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula for calculate the slope:

m=\frac{rise}{run}

Knowing that this road rises 50 feet over a horizontal distance of 600 feet, you can identify that:

rise=50\ ft\\run=600\ ft

Therefore, the final step is to substitute these values into the formula.

Then, the slope of the road is:

m=\frac{50\ ft}{600\ ft}\\\\m=\frac{1}{12}\\\\m=0.083

Answer:

1/12 (or 0.833)

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the definition of "slope" is the change in vertical distance divided by the change in the horizontal distance. (aka. rise ÷ run)

it is given that rise = 50 feet and the horizontal distance (i.,e "run") = 600feet

hence slope = rise / run = 50 / 600 = 1/12 (or 0.833)

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Log_5 12=1.54

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Log_5 12

We have to find the value of given logarithms by using change-base formula

Base-change formula:

log_a b=\frac{Log_x b}{Log_x a}

Where x=New base

Using the formula then, we get

Log_5 12=\frac{log_{10} 12}{log_{10} 5}

Substitute the values log_{10}12=1.079, log_{10}5=0.699

Then,we get

Log_5 12=\frac{1.079}{0.699}

Log_5 12=1.54
