Semi Math Problems

In kiwi sport this this team , team we are learning 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- Elizabeth could only dribble half that amount.

58 divided by 2 = 29

50 / 2 = 25

8 / 2 = 4

25 + 4 = 29

C- Semi could dribble the ball 7 time more than Chelsea.

58 x 7 = 366

50 x 7 = 350

8 x 7 = 56

350 + 56 = 366

D- Izac could dribble the ball 3 times more than Elizabeth.

29 x 3 =87

20 x 3= 60

9 x 3 =27

60 + 27 = 87
