Twice as many X as Y. 是X多还是Y多？

鄭森

一道数学题把我绕晕了。
The bread recipe calls for twice as many cups of flour as water used. Tanya used 6 cups of water. How many cups of flour shoud she add?

有限的经验觉得是12cups of flour。 否则太稀聊啊。

"Twice as many A as B" means A is two times of B, or as you put it, A = 2B.

2×6=12, 有时候简单的数学题，偏要写的那复杂

twice as many A as B，记住B是参照物。
as many A as B：A跟B一样多。
twice as many A as B：A是B的2倍。
half as many A as B：A是B的一半。
