The Cyclone roller coaster has the steepest first drop of any wooden coaster in the world. It drops about 5 feet for every 3 feet of horizontal change. What is the slope of the first drop?

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1 - You have the following information given in the problem: It drops about 5 feet for every 3 feet of horizontal change.

2 - Therefore, you have:

Slope = (5 feet/3 feet) x100

Slope = (1.66) x100

Slope=166.66%

Therefore, what is the slope of the first drop?

As you can see, the answer is: 166.66%
