Question

Suppose there is a 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 59.7 degrees Fahrenheit, what will be the temperature at the altitude of 11000 ft?

Answer 1

Answer:

47.6 Degree Fahrenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Airplane is on the ground level at a temperature 59.7 Fahrenheit. Every 1,000 feet there will be drop in temperature which is 1.1 degrees Fahrenheit.

Initial Temp = 59.7 Fahrenheit

Distance Covered = 11,000 Ft

Explanation:

This means the Ground level is zero feet as the Airplane stands there.

Later, it climbs into the sky with 11,000 altitude.

That is $11 * 1000$

For every 1,000 there is decrease in temperature of 1.1 degree Fahrenheit

Therefore, 11 times the temperature will decrease

That is  $11 * 1.1$

12.1 Degree temperature will drop at 11,000 feet

Therefore

Temperature at 11,000 feet will be $59.7 - 12.1$

47.6 Degree Fahrenheit
