Answer:

Temperature at 5.5km altitude = -12.5 degrees centigrade

Explanation:

Change of temperature per km = 6.5 degrees centigrade

Change in altitude = Final altitude – initial altitude  

Change in altitude = 5.5 – 2.5 = 3km  

Now,  

Temperature at 5.5km altitude = 7 – (3*6.5) = -12.5 degrees centigrade

Negative sign has appeared because temperature is decreasing with the increase in altitude.
