This is worth a lot of points and i’m

Is that a math question or a novel?

Inside.  Let d be the depth in km and t be the temperature in C at that depth.  We have an initial temperature of 15 C and an increase of 25 degrees C per km.  Our model is thus

t = 15 + 25d

or in slope intercept form

t = 25d + 15

At d=10 we expect a temperature of 265 C.

At d=40 we expect a temperature of 1015 C

Our range is 265 C to 1015 C, span of 750 C

Outside.  Same story, different slope.  d is now the altitude in km, Here we have a decrease of 6.5 C per km, so that's a negative slope.  Our model is

t = 15 - 6.5d

t = -6.5d + 15

At d=8 we get t= 15-6.5(8) = -37 C

At d=20 we get t=15-6.5(20) = -115 C

Range -115 C to -37 C, span of 78 C

answer: given that the roller coaster can accommodate 1600 riders per hour, thus the roller coaster can accomodate 1600 / 60 = 26.67 riders per minute.

given that there are 345 people in the line, the number of minutes it will take for the 345 persons to get into the roller coaster is given by 345 / 26.67 = 12.94 minutes.

therefore, it will take you 12.94 minutes to get to the front of the line.
