madeline is 7

mulitply 7*2 which gives you 14

Answer:

michelle is 56 years old

Explanation:

start with madeline you know she's 7, move on to fiona we know she is twice as old as madeline so we mulitply 7 times 2, we get 14. now we know fiona is 14 and in order to find michelles age we multiply times 4 because shes four time fionas age. 14x4=56.
