Suppose there is a 19 degree F drop in temperature for every

Suppose there is a 1.9 degree F drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 62.5 degree F, what will be the temperature when the plane reaches an altitude of 10,000 ft? The temperature will be degree F. (Type an integer or a decimal.)

Solution

Their is 1.9F for every thousand feet

So for 10000 feet,net drop = 1.9*10 = 19F

Therefore temperature at that altitude = 62.5-19 = 43.5

Answer =43.5
