Find the temperature at the top of a mountain at an altitude of 1500 m, if the temperature is at the foot of 20 degrees?

According to statistical readings, the average decrease in temperature with height is about 0.6 degrees Celsius for every hundred meters. That is, there will be fifteen approximate zones on the mountain in question when such a decrease in temperature will occur. As a result, it is necessary to minus the indicated number of degrees fifteen times.

We get a formula that looks like this:

t (top) = 20 – (0.6 * 15) = 20 – 9 – 11 degrees.

Thus, at the top there will be a temperature of about 11 degrees.
