Task #1 – Caution!

How often have you seen these signs on the side of the highway? I captured this image
on a ride home from Billings. This sign is on the roadside at the top of the Pipestone pass
just outside of Butte.

• What does it mean for a highway to have a 6% grade?


Mathematically, what does that mean?

• A mountain face that has a 20% grade is even steeper!


Mathematically, what does that mean?

• What would a 100% grade look like?!?!
