- so-cal-schemer 8d agoto spell it out: 200% as large as 1 is 2. 200% larger than 1 is 3..
- so-cal-schemer 8d ago200% (or 2x) smaller than 3 is.. ?
- stkdump 5d ago10% smaller is 3*0.1=0.3 smaller than 3, which is 3-0.3=2.7 So 200% smaller is 3*2=6 smaller than 3, which is 3-6=-3 Which is why these kinds of statements usually don't make any sense at all. Usually something can't be more than 100% smaller, at which point it is completely gone.
