Question 1159594: The temperature at which water starts to boil (its boiling point) is linearly related to the altitude. At sea level, water boils at 212 Superscript circle Baseline Upper F212◦F. For every 1000-feet increase in altitude, the degrees Fahrenheit at which water will boil decreases by 1.9. If you are 40004000 feet above sea level, what will the boiling point of water be?
