If the temp is 0 oC and the weather man say it'll be half as cold again tomorrow, then what will the temp be?

Answer 1

That statement is meaningless.

Answer 2

Yep, the question's meaningless.

However you can note that absolute zero is -276 degrees C. That's the temperature when everything stops and lies on the floor in a lifeless heap. Even electrons no longer buzz around.

So "half as cold again tomorrow" could be badly construed as "halfway towards absolute zero", i.e. -138 degrees C.

But I'm sure he wouldn't really mean it.

Answer 3

The answer should be 0. However, as the weather man ususally reports on things like ice forming, and given that freezing point is 4 C then 0 C is 4degrees of frost ,so half as cold again could be 6 degrees of frost or -2C!

Answer 4

'Half as cold again' must mean colder. 'Half as warm again' must mean warmer. We therefore need a scale of temperature (let's call it the Weatherman scale) where 0 deg W is what the weatherman considers to be neither warm nor cold. Let us suppose this to be h deg C.

Then 0 deg C = -h deg W
'Half as cold again' = -3h/2 deg W = -h/2 deg C

Contact the Weatheman, find out what Centigrade value he considers to be neither warm nor cold, and then work out -h/2 deg C.

Answer 5

0 degrees C is the sames has 32 degrees F. So half of 32 is 16 degrees F. Converting this to degrees C is -8.9 degrees C.

Answer 6

the answer is 0, cause nothing is half of zero.(in celcius)
If you want the temperature in farhenheit it will be 16 degrees.

there is no source for this i just am smart like that lol

Answer 7

He's a weatherman. They say crap like that all the time. I don't waste my time trying to think about it.

Answer 8

It will be minus, but Ive not got a clue.

Answer 9

( 0C = 32F )/2 = 16 F = -8.889C

Answer 10

this question makes no sense.
