The ground temperature at an airport is 11 °C. The temperature decreases by 6.4 °C for every increase of 1 kilometer above the ground. What is the temperature outside a plane flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers?

Answer:

-21°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane is flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers, then we have to multiply 6.4 by each kilometer that the plane's altitude increased (5). After that, we will end up with 32°C that we have to subtract from the ground temperature of 11°C. Once we do that, we get -21°C which means that the temperature at an altitude of 5 kilometers is -21°C.

(sorry if this is confusing but I hope this helped)
