Question

Please help quickly!!

A truck is driving up a hill with a 24% grade, so it climbs 24 feet vertically for every 100 feet horizontally.
What is the slope of the hill?

Answer 1

6/25

Explanation:

rise / run

24/100 = 6/25

Answer 2

`(6)/(25)`

Explanation:

The slope of any relationship is always rise over run. This means the vertical distance traveled over the horizontal distance traveled will get us our slope.

We travels 24 feet vertically for every 100 feet horizontally, so:

`(24)/(100)`.

We can simplify this fraction to find the slope in fraction form.

`(24/4)/(100/4) = (6)/(25)`

So the slope of this equation is
`(6)/(25)`.
