Answer:

14°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Place A = 2500 m = 20°C

Place B = 1500 m = ? °C

First of all, we know that the air temperature decreases with 6°C at every 1000 m.

So, now it is easy to find the temperature from place B.

If in place A, at 2500 m is 20°C, then at place B the temperature will be with 6°C lower.

Place B = 20°C - 6°C = 14°C
