Question

1000 ft to 1950 ft in 4 miles what is slope

Answer 1

Answer:

0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is the vertical drop or rise to the horizontal distance;

   Slope  = $\frac{vertical interval}{horizontal distance}$  

 Let us convert 4 miles to feet;

         1 mile  = 5280ft

        4 miles  = 4 x 5280 = 21120ft

Slope  = $\frac{1950 - 1000}{21120}$   = 0.05

The slope is 0.05
