In general, the air temperature decreases 12F for every 4000 feet increase in altitude. If a hiker climbs 3000 feet, by how much can she expect the temperature to decrease?
3,000/4,000 = 3/4
(3/4) * 12 = 36/4 = 9 degrees
9 degrees because 3,000 feet, and 4,000 feet would become 3/4. so 3/4- would become 12 because 3 multiplied by 4 would equal 12, and 12 would become 36/4 which is basically simplified to 9. I hope this helps you. :))
9 because yeah

To find out how much the temperature will decrease when the hiker climbs 3000 feet, we need to determine how many 4000-foot increments are present in 3000 feet.
Since each 4000-foot increment results in a temperature decrease of 12 degrees Fahrenheit, we can calculate the temperature decrease by dividing the elevation gained by 4000 and then multiplying the result by 12.
Here is the calculation:
Temperature decrease = (3000 feet / 4000 feet) * 12 degrees Fahrenheit
Simplifying this equation:
Temperature decrease = (0.75) * 12 degrees Fahrenheit
Evaluating the expression:
Temperature decrease = 9 degrees Fahrenheit
Hence, the hiker can expect the temperature to decrease by 9 degrees Fahrenheit when climbing 3000 feet.
Help me with mathhhh
12 degrees farenhieght
I know this bc the other teachers said so
