Suppose there is a
1.2°F
drop in temperature for every thousand feet that an airplane climbs into the sky. If the temperature on the ground is
52.3°F,
what will be the temperature when the plane reaches an altitude of
2,000 ft?
52.3 - 1.2 degrees/thousand * 2 thousand = 52.3 - (1.2 * 2) = __________ degrees
