Question

The number 8¹⁰ is 10 times larger than the number 8​ true or false​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

False The number 8¹⁰ is 10 times larger than the number 8 true or false

Answer 2

Answer:

10 times greater than 8 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 80 (since 10 x 8 = 80). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

80 is greater than 10 x 8.

But that is not true. 80 is not greater than 10 x 8. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=10 and b=8 to get this answer:

(10 + 1) x 8 = 88

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 11 times 8?" 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 10 times greater than 8, they mean 10 times as much as 8 which equals 80. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
