Mt Everest is at the height of 8850 m; its base is at an elevation of 5400m. The temperature here drops at the rate of 1 degree per 100m. If temperature at the base is -5, what will be the temperature at the top?

The temperature at the top is -39.5 degree

Explanation:

The height of Mt Everest = 8850 m

The base is at the elevation of = 5400 m

The drop in temperature = 1 degree per 100 m

At the base, the temperature = -5

Since every 100 meter rise in height results in the one degree drop of temperature. Therefore, first find the difference between the base and height. Multiply with negative one.

Difference in heights = 8850 – 5400 = 3450

The temperature at the top = (3450 / 100) + 5 = -39.5 degree

Since there is fall in temperature so we use negative sign.
