if the weather man comes on tv and says its zero out ,its going to be twice as cold tomarrow, how cold is it?

Answer 1

hahaha.....i dont know. has that ever happened, b/c if it has that wouldnt make sense. thats kind of funny.

Answer 2

Once people rid themselves of Fahrenheit, they never go back to it. Most of the world uses Celsius. I am sure that the person making the statement does not expect the viewers to move from one to the other. You could argue that we should consider the statement in Kelvin but what is twice as cold or half as cold as 273K?

The weather man on TV is just making noises. Many of them are not meteorologists, you don't need to be a meteorologist to read an autoprompt and wave a finger at a green screen. He is trying to add some gee-whizzery to his report and ends up using the wrong terminology entirely.

Answer 3

Good Trick Question. But I have an Answer.

Well first you have to find out if he is using Fahrenheit or Celsius. Then convert the 0 to a number divisible by 2. For example. If he was talking in Celsius term then you would use 32 degrees Fahrenheit divide it by 2. You get 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Convert that back to Celsius and you get -8.88888888888. That is twice as cold.

Answer 5
