Re: how do you figure grades
Quote:
8 % grade means for every 12-and-a-half feet of run their is one foot of rise. 10% means that for every ten feet you go forward you go up one foot. In England they would call a 10% grade a one in ten. A 5 % grade takes you up one foot for every 20 feet or forward travel; this would be a one in twenty. A one in five is what you do not want. |
