I'm trying to practice making sentences for three multiplicative comparison.(ex: three times as many as ... = three times more than ... = three times the number of ...)
Are following sentences equal?
1. Two girls and six boys (the position of "boys" is right?)
There are three times as many boys as girls. = There are three times more boys than girls.
= There are boys three times the number of girls.
2. 100 m^2 in the xxx and 500 m^2 in the UK (make it simpler)
There was five times less land in xxx than land in the UK.
= There was five times as little land in xxx as in the UK.
3. The city library has 200 books and my school library has 100 books. (the position of "books" is right?)
The city library has two times more books than my school library.
= The city library has two times as many books as my school library.
= The city library has two times books the number of my school library.
4. He makes $10. I makes $20. (the position of "money" is right?)
He makes half as much (money) as I do.
= He makes half as little as I do.
= He makes half the amount of money I do.
I'll very appreciate that if someone could give me correct answers.
