Approximately? In broad strokes?
Okay, here's an approximate rule that gets you within a percent or two for converting percent grade to degrees.
- Take percent grade, divide it in half. Add a tiny amount. That's the grade in degrees.
- To get percent grade from degrees? Double the degrees, and subtract a tiny amount.
That's a broad stroke approximation. If you don't want to worry too much, forget the tiny amount. Here's an exact table from
