Listen 10B. Which is steeper: a road with a 5% grade or a road with a pitch of 1 in 5? (Find the slope of each road and give answers as a fraction in lowest terms as #/#. For example, 1/12 or 3/4; a slope of 8/10 would need to be simplified to 4/5 to be accepted as correct.) Give the slope of a road with a 5% grade as a fraction in lowest terms in blank #1. Give the slope of a road with a pitch of 1/5 as a fraction in lowest terms in blank #2. Which is slope is steeper, the fraction you entered in blank #1 or blank #2? Give answer as 1 for the fraction in blank #1, or 2 for the fraction in blank #2.
