Temperature Suppose there is a 1.8°F drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane

climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is 52.9°F, what will be the temperature when the

plane reaches an altitude of 3,000 ft?

The temperature will be

°F. (Type an integer or a decimal.)

47.5 degrees Farenheit

Step-by-step explanation:

the problem says temperature drops 1.8 deg F for every thousand feet. 3,000 ft of altitude will be achieved so that would to find the amount of deg the temperature will decrease we need to multiply 1.8 X 3, which is 5.4 degrees. subtract 5.4 degrees from 52.9 and you get 47.5 degrees at 3,000 ft of altitude
