The temperature at the bottom of a mountain is 16.2F warmer than at the top. The temperature at the bottom of the mountain is 48F. What is the temperature at the top of the mountain?

let n be the temperature at the top of the mountain?
the temperature at the top of the mountain is ?F.

1 answer

Let's set up an equation to solve for the temperature at the top of the mountain:

n + 16.2 = 48

Subtract 16.2 from both sides:

n = 48 - 16.2
n = 31.8

Therefore, the temperature at the top of the mountain is 31.8°F.
