What is 69 times greater than 27?
69 times greater than 27 seems easy enough, but is it?
Let's assume the answer = 1863 (since 69 x 27 = 1863). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:
1863 is greater than 69 x 27.
But that is not true. 1863 is not greater than 69 x 27. It is the same!
To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=69 and b=27 to get this answer:
(69 + 1) x 27 = 1890
But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 70 times 27?" 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 69 times greater than 27, they mean 69 times as much as 27 which equals 1863. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
