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?
Question
Answer:
Answer:47.6 Degree FahrenheitStep-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 FahrenheitDistance Covered = 11,000 FtExplanation: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 [tex]11 * 1000[/tex]For every 1,000 there is decrease in temperature of 1.1 degree FahrenheitTherefore, 11 times the temperature will decreaseThat is Β [tex]11 * 1.1[/tex]12.1 Degree temperature will drop at 11,000 feetThereforeTemperature at 11,000 feet will be [tex]59.7 - 12.1[/tex]47.6 Degree Fahrenheit
