Answer: °F/ft (Same as °F·ft⁻¹)


Step-by-step explanation


Rate at which temperature changes as the altitude increases

= Change in temperature/Change in Altitude

To find the appropriate units for Anoop’s purpose:

Change in temperature has the same units as Temperature, F (Fahrenheit)

Change in Altitude has the same units as Altitude, ft (Feet)

Therefore, The appropriate unit for Change in temperature/Change in Altitude is °F/ft (Same as °F·ft⁻¹)
