minus-squarepartial_accumenlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-22 months agoEdit: Brain fart. retracting. Only 26 times bigger, yes? While their are 27 cubic feet in 1 cubic yard. The original cubic foot needs to be subtracted from the cubic yard if you’re saying its “bigger”, right?
minus-square@GetOffMyLan@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglish8•2 months agoThat would be the difference in cubic yard (27-1) Here we’re comparing the total volume. 27 is 27 times bigger than 1 (27 / 1)
minus-square@SkydancerlinkEnglish4•edit-22 months agoNo, you wee right the first time. It’s 27 times as big, or 26 times bigger
minus-square@morphballganon@mtgzone.comlinkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoNo, multiplying doesn’t also add one. 1x27=27
