un incremento de 4.6 veces.

Sandra. Nunca he visto números decimales utilizados de esta manera. Por lo general se utiliza con números enteros: 5-fold=quintuplicado, two-fold=¨duplicado, etc.

Aquí está la definición del Oxford:


-fold / f@Uld / suff: his income increased fivefold sus
ingresos se multiplicaron por cinco or se quintuplicaron;
there has been a twofold/fourfold increase in prices los
precios se han duplicado/cuadruplicado; the problem is
threefold el problema tiene tres aspectos
