The mount washington cog railway un new hampshire is one of the steepest cog railways in the world. a section of the railway has a slope if approximately 0.37. in this section, a vertical change of 1 unit corresponds to a horizontal change of what length? round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

A slope could be simply calculated as rise over run. Rise would mean the vertical step, while run is the horizontal step. Thus,

Slope = rise/run

Let x - horizontal change

0.37 = 1/x

0.37x = 1

X = 1/0.37

X = 0.63

Thus, the horizontal change is 0.63 units.

I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a good day.
