anonymous · Answer

its only made up

misty1212 · Answer

yeah i know what they want as an answer, it is just that the question makes no sense

misty1212 · Answer

they want you to say $6\times -4=-24$ and that arithmetic is right
but there  is a big problem here

misty1212 · Answer

suppose they said "it is 6 times colder  that a place where the temperature is zero
what are you supposed to say ?
it can't be "six times colder' anywhere because temperature has not meaningful zero !
is that F or C?  makes no sense
could it be FLVS
