Question

You are driving on a road that has a 12% uphill grade. This means that the slope of the road is 12/100. Approximate the amount of vertical change in your position when you drive 200 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore our proportion is: (where x is the "vertical" rise)

Slope is defined as rise over fun so....

12/100 = x/200

(12*200)/100 = x

24 feet = x
