You need to find the temperature at the top of Mount Toubkal (Africa), if you know that the temperature at the foot of the mountain is +16 in winter and +24 in summer.

It is known that in the troposphere, with an ascent for each kilometer, the air temperature drops by 6 ° C.

1) Find out by how many degrees the air temperature will drop when climbing to the top of Mount Toubkal (4167 m). To do this, multiply the height of the mountain by 6 ° С.

4167 m = 4.167 km.

4.167 km * 6 ° С = 25, 002 ° С = 25 ° С.

2) Find the air temperature at the top of the mountain in summer. To do this, subtract the temperature drop from the temperature at the foot.

24 ° C – 25 ° C = -1 ° C.

3) Find the air temperature at the top of the mountain in winter. To do this, subtract the temperature drop from the temperature at the foot.

16 ° C – 25 ° C = -9 ° C.

Answer: -1 ° C; -9 ° C.
