Question #42c14

Answer 1

4º temperature drop per 1000 feet

Explanation:

First, determine the temperature change by subtracting the temperature at 10,000 feet from the temperature at ground level
90º - 50º = 40º

Second, determine how many 1,000 feet increments are in 10,000 feet.
`10000/1000 = 10`

Finally, divide the temperature drop by the number of 1000 foot increments.
40º / 10 = 4º per 1000 feet
