A stream starts out 2000 meters above sea level and travels 250 kilometers to the ocean. Please let me know how you worked out your answer.What is its average gradient in meters per kilomerter?
Here is how you calculate it. You must do it yourself, if you want to learn.

1 km = 1000 meters
250 km = 250000 meters
the stream drops 2000 meters over 250000 meters
or 2000 m / 250000 m = 0.008 gradient
