You can put this solution on YOUR website! from a base elevation of 9800 ft, a mountain peak in Colorado rises to a summit elevation of 14785 ft over a horisonatl distance of 15849 ft. Find the grade of the peak.
-------------------
Slope = rise/run = (14785-9800)/15849
= 4985/15849 = 0.31453
Grade = that as percent
Grade = 31%
