Since the resort is at 2400 feet you have 2400/300 = 8 degrees drop in temperature; therefore the temperature at the top is 52 - 8= 44º

the resort would be 2400/300 = 8 degrees lower than 52.
tat's 52-8 = 44 degrees.

44 I think. 2400/300= 8, 52 - 8 = 44

2,400 = 8 *300 so the drop is 8 and the temp is 44 (a)
