Answer 1

Answer: 4p = 36 ; 3p = J.

Peter has 9 model cars, while Jade has 27 model cars.

Explanation:

Andre has 36 model cars, which is 4 times as many as Peter. Let P represent Peter: 4p = 36.

How many times does 4 go into 36? 9 times. Peter has 9 model cars.

Peter has 1/3 of Jade's model cars. Let J represent Jade. 3p = J. We know p is 9, so we can plug it into this equation. 3 x 9 = 27. Jade has 27 model cars.
