You can put this solution on YOUR website! A weather balloon is launched at sea level.
The balloon is carrying instruments that measure temperature during the balloon's trip.
After the balloon is released, the data collected shows that the temperature
dropped 0.15'F for each meter that the balloon rose.
If the temperature at sea level is 50'F, determine the temperature at a distance of 60 meters above sea level.
:
T = 50 degrees, minus (altitude in meters times .15)
T = 50 - .15(60)
T = 50 - 9
T = 41 degrees
