Suppose there is a 3.1 temperature drop for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs
into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 60.1, what will the temperature be
when the plane reaches an altitude of 11,000 feet?

Answer:

34.1 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

given that the temperature drops 3.1 degrees for every thousand feet of elevation.

for an altitude of 11,000 feet (i.e 11 x 1000 feet), the temperature (compared to ground level) would drop,

= 3.1 deg / 1000-foot   x   11,000 feet

= 34.1 degrees
