Answer: 1.6 lawns a week

Explanation:

Carlt mowed 2 more lawns than Rocco every week for 5 weeks.

This means that the number of lawns he mowed more than Rocco is:

= 2 * 5

= 10 lawns

If Carlt mowed 18 lawns in those 5 weeks then Rocco mowed:

= 18 - 10

= 8 lawns

Lawns mowed per week by Rocco:

= 8/5

= 1.6 lawns a week
