On a mountain, the temperature decreases by 18°F every 5000 feet. What integer represents the change in temperature at 20,000 ft?

Respuesta :

To find this answer, use multiples. For every 5000 feet ascended, deduct 18 degrees. For 20,000 feet, which is (4 * 5000), use (4 * -18). In this case, the answer is -72 degrees F, so the integer described would be -72.
