Find slope of a ski run the descends 15 feet for every Horizontal change of 24 feet?

A slope that descends 15 feet per 24 feet has a slope of 5/8.

3/50


What is the slope of a ski run that rises 5 feet for every horizontal change of 20 feet?

5/20 = 0.25


What does a bank slope ratio of 3 to 1 mean?

For every 3 feet of horizontal run, there is a vertical change of 1 foot of assent or desent. i.e.: if the bank is falling away from the top of the slope towards the toe of the slope ata rate of 1 foot drop for every 3 feet horizontal, or away from the top, the ratio of desent is 3:1 (3 feet out for every 1 foot down).


what is the slope of a ski run that descends 15 feet for every horizontal change of 24 feet.?

The slope would be: -15/24 It's negative because it's descending instead of ascending.


What is the slope of a ski run that rises 6 feet for every horizontal change of 30 feet?

slope = change in y / change in x = 6/30 = 1/5 It can also be expressed as 1 in 5 or 20 %


What does a slope 1 in 8 mean construction ramps?

1 in 8 ramp means: for every 8 units horizontal, there will be a rise of 1 unit. Example: 8 feet of horizontal distance will slope upwards to a finish height of 1 foot. or 1 meter of horizontal distance will slope upwards to a finish height of 125 mm. In both examples height/horizontal length = 1/8 or 125/1000 = 1 in 8.


What is gradient or slope?

Slope is rise/run, or vertical height/horizontal distance. If a hill rises 100 feet high over a horizonatl distance of 1000 feet, it has a slope of 100/1000 = 0.10. Thais one -tenth slope, or one-tenth gradient, which is a 10% grade.


On a house lateral line is the slope a quarter of an inch per every four feet of pipe?

For proper fall. Pipe should slope 1" for every 8'.


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

What is the proper slope for newly installed gutters?

The proper slope for newly installed gutters is 1/4 inch of slope for every 10 feet of gutter. This slope keeps water from standing after a heavy rain.
