Hi,
I could not start a new topic under General Verbal, not sure why.

This is from the Comparisons problem set:

8. Three times more students attended the prom this year than last year.

My version: Three times as many students attended the prom this year than did last yr.

Ans Key:
Three times more students attended the prom this year than did last year.

Is My version incorrect? If yes, they why?


Thanks!

"as many" does not match up with "than", so your version is incorrect..
