55%

Answer 1

Grade is Rise/Run

Answer 2

Grade:

\(\Huge{Grade=\frac{rise}{run} \times 100}\) The rise is \(\large{44}\) feet and the run is \(\large{80}\) feet..so we input this...

\(\Huge{Grade=\frac{\color{red}{44}}{\color{red}{80}} \times 100}\) Simplify...

\(\Huge{{\color{red}{.55} \times 100}}\) So multiply this and you'll get your answer ^^
