If you climb the mountains to an altitude of 2500 meters, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is 27 degrees. What is the temperature at the end of the climb?

A change in temperature of 0.6 degrees Celsius occurs with a change in altitude of 100 meters.

Find the ratio of the height for the top of the mountain and a constant value.

2500/100 = 25.

Find the temperature difference at the top and at the bottom.

We multiply the result of the ratio by the constant value of the temperature change.

25 * 0.6 = 15 degrees Celsius (this is how much the temperature at the top is lower).

We find the value of the temperature at the top.

We subtract the difference from the temperature at the Earth’s surface.

We get:

27 – 15 = 12 degrees Celsius (temperature at the top).
