Question

Please help :( Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

The grade of the path in the mountain is calculated by determining first the ratio between the rise over the run and multiplying the ratio by 100%. 

For Path A: 

                 grade = (rise / run) x 100%
                 grade = (1414/ 3535) x 100% = 40%

Answer: 40%

For Path B:
              grade = (rise / run) x 100%
              grade = (4.26 m/ 22 m) x 100% = 19.36%

Answer: 19.36%
