How do you figure out the slope of grade in percent?
1. Determine the height difference (a) between the start and end of the slope by subtracting the starting height from the final height (if it is a downhill slope the difference will be a negative number) 2. Determine the horizontal distance (b) between the starting point and the final point. If you only know the actual linear distance (c) along the slope, you can figure the horizontal distance using the Pythagorean Theorem: a2+b2=c2. For example, if the linear distance (c) along the slope from start to finish is 1000 feet, and the height difference (a) is 75 feet, then using the theorem you would have 752+b2=10002or 5625+b2=1000000. Your horizontal distance (b) would therefore be b2=994375 or b=997.2 feet 3. Divide the height difference (a) by the horizontal distance (b) and multiply by 100. This gives you the grade of the slope in percent. In the example it would be 75 ÷ 997.2 × 100 = 7.5% grade
How do you express a 3 as a fraction decimal percent?
As a fraction, 3/1 As a decimal, 3 As a percent, 300%
What is 33 and 1 over 3 as a percent?
33 1/3 as a percent = 3333.33% = 33 1/3 * 100% = (33 + 0.3333) * 100% = 33.3333 * 100% = 3333.33%
3 percent of 127000 dollars?
127000 dollars are 100 percent. 1 percent is 127000/100 = 1270 dollars. 3 percent is 3 times 1270 dollars = 3810 dollars.
What percent is two-sixths?
2/6 is 1/3 which is 33.33 percent
What percent grade is equal to a slope of 2 over 3?
66%
When rough grading a lot what does 3 to 1 mean?
3 to 1 is most likely the slope of the grade. 3 horizontal to 1 vertical.
What is the slope of a line passing through 1 1 and 4 2?
One third. (1/3 or 0.3333 or 33.3% grade)
Find the slope of a line with the points (1 1) and (3 3) by using the slope formula?
Points: )1, 1) and (3, 3) Slope: 1
What is your grade if you have a 88 out of 120 possible points?
73 and 1/3 percent
Which is steeper...a slope of -1 or a slope of -3?
A slope of -3 is steeper.
What is the slope of the line below (15)(-1-1)?
If you mean points of (1, 5) and (-1, -1) then the slope works out as 3
The slope of a line is -3. Find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to this line. The slope of a line is -3.?
The slope of two lines are perpendicular only if their slopes multiplied together equal -1 (m1*m2 = -1). So if a line has a slope of -3 then a line perpendicular to this one has a slope of -1/-3 or 1/3.
What is the slope of (1 -3) (2 -5)?
Points: (1, -3) and (2, -5) Slope: -2
What is the slope of the line through -2 3 and 1 1?
Points: (-2, 3) and (1, 1) Slope: -2/3
What is the slope of the line through (-2 3) and (1 1)?
Points: (-2, 3) and (1, 1) Slope: -2/3
Which is the slope of a line with the coordinates 1 and 4 and 3 and 1?
Slope = (1 - 4)/(3 - 1) = -3/2 = -1.5
