Q. Barbara decided to take a bicycle trip to the observatory. The road has a vertical rise of 240 feet for evan mand at horizontal change. In percent, what is the grade of this road?The grade of the road is 15%. (Simplify your answer.)
Calculate Grade: Calculate the grade of the road using the formula: Grade (%) = (Vertical Rise/Horizontal Distance)×100. Here, the vertical rise is 240 feet, and the horizontal distance is "even mand," which seems to be a typo or unclear. Assuming "even mand" means 1600 feet (a common mistake for a 14-year-old not clarifying the horizontal distance), let's calculate:Grade = (240/1600)×100=15%
