That means that for every 5 [lengths] forward along the level,

the incline rises or drops 1 [length].

[Length] can be any unit of distance.

This can also be called a "20% grade" . . . Because 1/5 = 0.2 = 20% .

It also tells you that the incline makes an angle of 11.3° with the level,

because 0.2 is the tangent of 11.3° .
