What does 3 times more mean?

Answer 2

Well, darling, "3 times more" simply means you're multiplying something by 3 to get a larger amount. So if you have 5 apples and you want 3 times more, you'd end up with 15 apples. It's just a fancy way of saying triple the original amount.

Answer 3

When something is "3 times more" than another quantity, it means it is three times as much as that quantity. For example, if you have 5 apples and someone else has 3 times more apples, they would have 15 apples (5 x 3 = 15). In general, to find a quantity that is "3 times more" than another, you would multiply the original quantity by 3.

Answer 4

Three times more is NOT defined as "triple". Rather it is "triple more".

Three times MORE than 4 is NOT 12. Three times AS MUCH as 4 is 12. Three times MORE than 4 is 12 more than 4, which is 16.
