Question

1000 ft to 1950 ft in 4 miles what is slope

Answer 1

0.05

Explanation:

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

Slope =
`(vertical interval)/(horizontal distance)`

Let us convert 4 miles to feet;

1 mile = 5280ft

4 miles = 4 x 5280 = 21120ft

Slope =
`(1950 - 1000)/(21120)` = 0.05

The slope is 0.05
