Basketball (Maths)

Image result for basketballIn kiwi sport we are leaning how to play basketball. So far, we have learnt how to dribble the ball.
A) Chelsea was able to dribble the ball 58 times.
B) Liz could only dribble half of what Chelsea can.
C) Semi could dribble the ball 7 times more than Chelsea
D) Izac could dribble the ball 3 times  more than Liz

Q) How many times can each person dribble the ball

Chelsea - 58
Liz - 29
Semi - 406
Izac - 87

Chelsea - 58

58 / 2 = 29 - Liz

58 x 7 = _406_ - Semi
50 x 7 = 350
8 x 7 = 56
350 + 56 = 406 - Semi

29 x 3 = 87 - Izac
20 x 3 = 60
9 x 3 = 27
60 + 27 = 87 - Izac
