Question

The ground temperature at an airport is 10 °C. The temperature decreases by 5.4 °C for every increase of 1 kilometer above the ground. What is the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers?

Answer 1

The temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers is -17°C.

Given that,

• The ground temperature at the airport is 10 °C.
• The decrease in temperature is 5.4°C for each & every rise in 1 kilometer.

Based on the above information, the temperature outside should be

The decrease in the temperature should be

= 5.4×5

= 27°C

Now the final temperature is

= 10 - 27

= -17°C

Therefore we can conclude that the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers is -17°C.
