Question

What is the grade of a slope with a rise of 400 feet and a run of 2400 feet?

a) 6
b) 0.17
c) 16.7
d) 0.6

Answer 1

The grade of the slope can be found by dividing the rise by the run.

Step-by-step explanation:

The grade of a slope can be determined by finding the ratio of the rise to the run. In this case, the rise is 400 feet and the run is 2400 feet.

To find the slope, divide the rise by the run: 400/2400 = 0.1667.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b) 0.17.
