Answer:

-3.6 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need to find the temperature that is 3 miles above ground we first need to multiply the distance above ground by the decrease in temperature per mile.

3 * 5.2 = 15.6

Now that we have the total decrease in temperature at that altitude we subtract it from the temperature at ground level. This gives us the final temperature at 3 miles above the ground.

12 - 15.6 = -3.6

Finally, we can see that the temperature is -3.6 degrees
