What is 65 times greater than 11?

65 times greater than 11 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 715 (since 65 x 11 = 715). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

715 is greater than 65 x 11.

But that is not true. 715 is not greater than 65 x 11. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=65 and b=11 to get this answer:

(65 + 1) x 11 = 726

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 66 times 11?" 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 65 times greater than 11, they mean 65 times as much as 11 which equals 715. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
