Question

Suppose there is a 1.2 farenhight drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 45.8 farenhight ​, what will be the temperature when the plane reaches an altitude of 6,000 ft ​?

Answer 1

38.6Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Given that the plane reaches 6,000 ft

And for every 1000 ft there is a drop of 1.2 Fahrenheit

Therefore there is a total drop of (6*1.2)

Note There are six one thousand in six thousand

6*1.2=7.2Fahrenheit

Also the temperature on the ground is

45.8 Fahrenheit

The temperature when the plane reaches 6,000 ft will be

45.8-7.2=38.6Fahrenheit
