Height increase (m) Temperature drop (°C)=
200

If the temperature at a height of 500 m is 23°C, what will it be when you climb to 1300 m
How far would you need to climb to experience a temperature drop of 5°C?

Complete question is;

In mountaineering, in general, the higher you go, the colder it gets. This formula shows how the heights and temperatures are related.

Temperature drop (°C) = height increase(m)/200

A) If the temperature at a height of 500 m is 23°C, what will it be when you climb to 1300 m

B) How far would you need to climb to experience a temperature drop of 5°C

A) 19°C

B) 1500 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A) We are told that the temperature is at a height of 500 m is 23°C, now we want to find the temperature when height increases to 1300 m.

Thus, it means;

Height increase = 1300 - 500 = 800 m

Thus, from the formula;

Temperature drop (°C) = height increase(m)/200, we have;

Temperature drop (°C) = 800/200 = 4°C

Now,since Initial temperature was 23°C, thus temperature at this increased height ; 23°C - 4°C = 19°C

B) for a temperature drop of 5°C, we have;

5°C = height increase(m)/200

Height increase = 200 × 5

Height increase = 1000 m

Thus, you will need to climb; 500 + 1000 = 1500 m
