Why do we count the initial number when we say something is X times bigger?
In: 42
Does anyone else not really understand the question?
If I say 5 is 5 times bigger than 1, what I mean is 5×1 is 5.
What do you mean we count the initial number?
The word times denotes multiplication, not addition.
Bigger just means the value of the first number (5) is greater than the value of the second number (1)
A man who is 300 lbs would be two times bigger than a man who is 150 lbs
