Is lighter an adjective that is an exception to typical logic? It seems that 2/3 lighter than = 3 times lighter than. Because there are different numerical values in front of the adjective, it would make sense that they have different meanings. However, I think that the meanings are the same.
Here are the examples:
•The new model is 2/3 lighter than the old.
o The new model is lighter than the old.
• The new model is 3 times lighter than the old.
o The new model is lighter than the old.
Please help!
