Answer: He had 14 more touchdowns than he did fumbles.

Explanation:

Step 1. Ok, so we need to see how many times 9 will divide into 18.

18/9=2.

Step 2. So now that we know that 9 goes into 18 two times and we know he has two fumbles for every 9 touchdowns we can multiply 2 by 2 to find out how man fumbles he had.

2*2=4

Step 3. Now to find out how many more touchdowns than fumbles he had we need to subtract his fumbles from his touchdowns.

18-4= 14. So, now we know he had 14 more touchdowns than he did fumbles.

Hope this helps!
