Q. Barbara decided to take a bicycle trip to the observatory. The road has a vertical rise of 306306 feet for every 18001800 feet of horizontal change. In percent, what is the grade of this road?\newlineThe grade of the road is \square %\% \newline(Simplify your answer.)
  1. Calculate Grade Formula: Step 11: Identify the vertical rise and horizontal change to calculate the grade of the road.\newlineVertical rise = 306306 feet, Horizontal change = 18001800 feet.\newlineTo find the grade, use the formula: Grade (%) = (Vertical rise/Horizontal change)×100(\text{Vertical rise} / \text{Horizontal change}) \times 100.\newlineCalculation: (306/1800)×100(306 / 1800) \times 100.
  2. Find Grade Percentage: Step 22: Perform the division and multiplication to find the grade percentage.\newlineCalculation: 306÷18000.17306 \div 1800 \approx 0.17; 0.17×100=17%0.17 \times 100 = 17\%.
