Question

0m=28 degrees celsius
2,000m=15 degrees celsius
4,000m= 2 degrees celsius
6,000m= -11 degrees celsius
8,000m= -24 degrees celsius

Following the above numbers, what would the (estimated) temperature be at 10,000m?

Answer 1

look at the differences in the heights and temperatures - do you see a pattern?

Answer 2

Yeah kind of.

Answer 3

Is it minus 13 every time?

Answer 4

as the heights increase by increments of 2000m what are the corresponding reductions in temperature?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

So at 10,000m it would be -23 degrees celsius, correct?

Answer 7

no - you need to subtract 13 from temperature at 8,000 m ( - 24 degrees)

Answer 8

-24 - 13 = ?

Answer 9

-37
