Answer:

<h2>Pete played 1.5 times the number of matches that Jack played.</h2><h2 />

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Pete played 18 tennis matches in a week.</u>

P = 18

<u>Jack played 6 fewer matches than Pete. </u>

J = P - 6

J = 18 - 6

J = 12

<u>How many times the number of matches pete played is the number of matches jack played?</u>

<u />

18 / 12 = 1.5

Pete played 1.5 times the number of matches that Jack played.

Answer:

Pete played 1.5 times the amount of matches Jack did.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, first find the number that Jack played. Since he played 6 fewer than Pete we can solve by subtracting 6 from Pete's number.

18 - 6 = 12

Now to find how many more times higher it is, divide the number Pete does by Jack's number. 18/12 = 1.5
