Im getting a bit desperate now so i raised the price. please answer this:
Suppose there is a 1.9°F drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 54.7°F​, what will be the temperature when the plane reaches an altitude of 4,000 ft​?

1.9 x 4 = 7.6 total temperature drop.

54.7 - 7.6 = 47.1 F temperature

4000/1000 = 4

There are 4 drops in temperature.

1.9 x 4 = 7.6 total temperature drop.

54.7 - 7.6 = 47.1 F temperature
