The first sentence says that "A is more than B ,and its three times more"
The second sentencec says that "A is as B,and its 3 times as is the B"means both are same.

I interpret it is there is a difference between 1. and 2.
1: A is 3 times greater than B - which I would put in a measurement of a size.
2: A is 3 times as great as B - which I would evaluate as a worth of something.
It was my theoretical speculations.

yeah, why you think so?
one of my teacher said the two sentence all means A=3B?
and i am confused.
'cause one is 'bigger than', anthor is 'as great as'?

The first means that A is greater than B and its 3 times greater while the second means that A and B have the same quantities they both 3 times great..
