Pete played 18 tennis matches in a week. Jack played 6 fewer matches than Pete.

How many times the number of matches pete played is the number of matches jack played?

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

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Pete played 18 tennis matches in a week.

P = 18

Jack played 6 fewer matches than Pete.

J = P - 6

J = 18 - 6

J = 12

How many times the number of matches pete played is the number of matches jack played?

18 / 12 = 1.5

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