What do the following sentences actually mean? Are they the same in meaning?
- The cost of living is twice as high in New York as it is in Tokyo.
- The cost of living in New York is twice as high in Tokyo.
- The cost of living in New York is twice higher than in Tokyo.
- The cost of living in New York is two times higher than in Tokyo.
If they have the same meaning, then can I actually use them as a basis for composing other sentences having the same meanings? Such as:
1a. Your child is a hundred times as adorable as your pet dog.
1b. Your child is a hundred times adorable than your pet dog.2a. Her room is twice as large as mine.
2b. Her room is twice larger than mine.
