Let me know what you get
To find out how many times Jeff's ball bounced, let's go step by step.
We know that Olivia's ball bounced eight times.
Michael's ball bounced half as many times as Olivia's, which means Michael's ball bounced 8 / 2 = 4 times.
Jeff's ball bounced eight more times than Michael's, so we need to add 8 to the number of times Michael's ball bounced. Jeff's ball bounced 4 + 8 = 12 times.
Therefore, Jeff's ball bounced 12 times.
