Question

suppose the atmosphere air pressure at sea level is about 96 kilopascals. for every 1000-meter pressure decreases 11.6 percent. what is the approximate pressure at an altitude of 2,000

Answer 1

Answer: 169.7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Air atmosphere level = 96kp

For every 1000m= 11.6/100 of 96kp decrease

For every 1000m= 96 - 11.6/100 × 96

= 96 - 11.14

= 84.86

If 1000m pressure decreases= 84.86

2000m pressure will decrease = ??

Let the missing value be x, and the equation be stated as:

1000 = 84.86

2000= x

Then cross multiply

1000x = 2000 x 84.86

1000x = 169,720

Divide both sides by 1000 to get the value of x

x = 169,720/1000

x =169.72 = ~ 169.7
