Hi, I'd take it to mean 6B. But if it were very important, I'd ask for clarification. Clive

I understand it to mean A = 6B and I imagine most other people would too.
It seems logically unsatisfactory though. I think it's better to say "six times as high as" or "six times the height of".

Thanks a lot.
If it is in Chinese, it has the meaning of A=7B. But I just don't know how to express Chinese to you.
