Let the volume of a metal can A be x, and the volume of the other metal can B be 4x.
Question: Compare to metal can A, how many times more volume can metal can B hold?
I thought the answer should be "3" since (4x-x)/3 = 3, but DAT destroyer solve questions like "how many times more" and "By how many times does the surface area of A exceed that of B" by using the ratio between A and B.
