twice) as many books as she has.

When you read this kind of comparative, do you make a pause or logical deduction like 1 or 2? I mean if you feel in 1 like 2*(as many books as the number of her books=4) =8 or (2*many books)*(the number of her books=4)=8.

ex)I have two times(twice) as many books as she has.

1.I have (two times) (as many books as she has).
2.I have (two times as many books) (as she has).

2.I have (two times as many books) (as she has).

I don't see the difference. If she has 4 books, you have 8 books.
