Question 705759: There is a 3 degree drop in tempature for every 1'000 feet that an airplane climbs in the sky. If the tempature on the ground is 50 degrees, what will be the tempature when the plane reaches an altitude of 24,000 feet?

24,000ft / 1000ft = 24
24 * 3 degrees = 72
50 degrees - 72 degrees = -22 degrees
At 24,000 the temperature is -22 degrees
