The diameter of Jupiter is approximately 11 times larger than the diameter of earth. Find the diameter of earth given that Jupiter has a diameter of approximately 89,000 miles. Express the answer to the nearest mile
=======================
11 times larger is 12 times as large
89000/12 =~ 7417 miles, which is way off.
---------------
11 times larger is not the same as 11 times as large.
-------------
And, 11 times smaller is nonsensical. 1 time smaller is already zero.
