Answer:

80°F

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question, we will need to use a Rate of Change in determining the final temperature.

It is firstly given that the ground temperature (when the altitude 0), has a temperature of 60°F.

To solve for the amount the temperature increases in total, you will need to do the following to find the value:

2,000÷ 100 = 20

20 is the amount of times the temperature will rise as the altitude goes to 2,000 feet. To solve for the actual RAISE in temperature, all you will need to do is:

20×1= 20°F.

Simply add 60°F+ 20°F to get 80°F as your final answer.
