Question 996886: if the ground temp is 62, then the air temp x miles high is given by T=62-29x. Determine the altitude at which the air temp is less than 4.7F

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
T=4.7=-29x+62(assumed F.)
-29x=-57.3
x=1.976 miles
At an altitude above 1.976 miles, the air temp < 4.7 degrees F.
