Times
Fold
noun, suffix
Throw this onto a number and you have yourself the number of times something has increased. For example, 3倍 means something increased "three fold."
The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji. Omit the 〜 when writing out the answer, though. That just represents that there should be something before the kanji in this word when being used.
一倍
onefold
三倍
threefold
二倍
twofold
