In Kiwi sport this term we are learning how to play basketball. So far we have learnt how to dribble the ball.

B) Liz could only dribble half of what Chelsea can

D) Izac could dribble the ball 3 times more than Liz
Q) How many times can each person dribble the ball

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

58 / 2 = 29

58 x 7 = 406
50 x 7 = 350
8 x 7 = 56
350 + 56 = 406

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