Answer: 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we're given the information that Waipio Rd in Honokaa, Hawaii, is one of the steepest roads in the world and that it rises 450 ft over a horizontal distance of 1,000 ft.
Therefore, the percentage grade of this hill will be calculated as the height over the length and this will be:
= 450/1000 × 100
= 45%
= 0.45
= 0.5 to nearest tenth
= 50% to nearest tenth.
