Railway

The railway line climbs 8 permille between points A and B, whose horizontal distance is 1.5 km. It climbs 14 permille between points B and C, which have a horizontal distance of 900 m. Calculate the differences in altitudes between points A and C.

Correct answer:

x =  24.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a=1.5 km m=1.5 1000  m=1500 m b=900 m  q1=8=10008=1251=0.008 q2=14=100014=5007=0.014  x=a q1+b q2=1500 0.008+900 0.014=24.6 m
