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%
