Calculate each mountain path grade to the nearest percent.

Path A

for every 33 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 13 meters

Path B

for every 4.27 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 3 meters

Respuesta :

Answer: Path A grade is 39.39% and Path B is 70.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Path A

for every 33 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 13 meters.

Mountain path grade would be

[tex]\dfrac{13}{33}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{1300}{33}\\\\=39.39\%[/tex]

Path B

for every 4.27 meters of horizontal​ distance, the vertical change is 3 meters.

Mountain path grade would be

[tex]\dfrac{3}{4.27}\times 100\\\\=\dfrac{300}{4.27}\\\\=70.25\%[/tex]

Hence, Path A grade is 39.39% and Path B is 70.25%.
