There are four water slides at the Six Flags Atlantis water park. The following are the measurements of the four water slides. Which is the steepest slide, A, B, C, or D

Question

a	length: 10 feet; height: 7 feet
b	length: 60 feet; height: 45 feet
c	length: 80 feet; height: 70 feet
d	length: 100 feet; height: 81 feet

Answer 1

Hi Dajshonique!

To solve this, we are simply going to divide each slides length by its height to see how steep the slope is.

Slide A = 7/10 = 0.7 slope

Slide B = 45/60 = 0.75 slope

Slide C = 70/80 = 0.875 slope

Slide D = 81/100 = 0.81 slope

As we can see, Slide C has the largest slope, meaning that it is the steepest slide.

Hope this helps! If you need additional clarification let me know!
