What is 64 times greater than 20?
64 times greater than 20 seems easy enough, but is it?
Let's assume the answer = 1280 (since 64 x 20 = 1280). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:
1280 is greater than 64 x 20.
But that is not true. 1280 is not greater than 64 x 20. It is the same!
To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=64 and b=20 to get this answer:
(64 + 1) x 20 = 1300
But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 65 times 20?" instead of saying "times greater than?"
We do not think there is a correct answer, because the question can be misinterpreted.
It seems that when many people write 64 times greater than 20, they mean 64 times as much as 20 which equals 1280. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
