Confused!!!
Six is three times as much as 2.
Six is three times more than 2.
Which one is correct???
three times as much
But, lots of people use them the same way. If you are working on a problem, be sure to find out what was intended.
"times" indicates multiplication
"more than" indicates addition
using them together always causes trouble.

Both statements are correct and mean the same thing.
The first statement, "Six is three times as much as 2," indicates that the number 6 is three times the size or value of the number 2. To calculate this, you can multiply 2 by 3, which equals 6.
The second statement, "Six is three times more than 2," also means that the number 6 is three times larger than or greater than the number 2. In this case, you would take the number 2 and multiply it by 3 to get 6.
In summary, both statements convey that the number 6 is three times the value or size of the number 2.
