Question

An airplane cuts through the morning sky for every 1,000 feet that he climbs the outside temperature drops 20° f what is the rate of the temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit per foot complete the steps below to answer the question

Answer 1

Given :

An airplane cuts through the morning sky for every 1,000 feet that he climbs the outside temperature drops 20° F.

To Find :

The rate of the temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit per foot.

Solution :

Let, rate of the temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit per foot is x.

So,

$x = \dfrac{20}{1000}\ ^oF/foot\\\\x = 0.02 ^oF/foot$

Therefore, rate of the temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit per foot is 0.02.

Hence, this is the required solution.
