Mikey is studying the mesosphere. He is looking at temperatures at various altitudes within this layer of the atmosphere. If he took the temperature at 31 miles above the Earth's surface, and then again at 40 miles above the Earth's surface, the temperature would be lower at a height of
31 miles 40 miles
