On a mountain, the temperature decreases by 6.5°C for every 1000 metres increase in height.
At 2000 metres the temperature is 10 °C.

Find the temperature at 6000 metres.

Respuesta :

-16 degrees all you have to do is 6.5 times 4 considering per thousand metres the temperature decreases by 6.5. 6.5 times 4 equals 26 so 10 minus 26 equals negative 16 degrees

Based on the temperature at 2,000 meters and the rate of temperature change, the temperature at 6,000 meters is -16°C.

The difference between 2,000 meters and 6,000 meters is:

= 6,000 - 2,000

= 4,000 meters

For every 1,000 meters increase, the temperature will drop by 6.5 °C. At 4,000 meters:

= 6.5 x 4,000 / 1,000

= 26 °C

The temperature will reduce by 26°C to become:

= Temperature at 2,000 - Temperature change

= 10 - 26

= -16 °C

In conclusion, the temperature is -16 °C.
