Bosigo bongwe go ne ga tima motlakase kwa ntlong ya ga Brianna mme ene le ba lelapa la gagwe ba phutha dikerese tsotlhe le ditlhobolo tsa lesedi. Go na le dikamore di le 8 mo ntlong mme go nna batho ba le 4, go akaretsa le Brianna. Go na le tlhobolo ya lesedi e le nngwe e e tsholwang ke motho mongwe le mongwe le tse pedi mo kamoreng nngwe le nngwe. Ba na le dikerese tse di farologaneng; dikerese tse dinnye di le 4 mo dikamoreng di le 4 le dikerese tse di magareng di le 5 mo dikamoreng tse dingwe di le 4. Fa go kopanngwa tsotlhe, dikerese le ditlhobolo tsa lesedi tse di dirisiwang ke ba lelapa la ga Brianna ke di le kae fa go tima motlakase?

Brendan has a bag of marbles with 10 inside. He tripped over a pebble while carrying it and dropped half of them. He scrambled to search for them but only came up with 3. When he went back home, he inspected the marbles further. One of them he picked up wasn't a marble, but actually a bead so he got rid of it. How many marbles did Brendan end up with?
Mo kamoreng nngwe le nngwe ya dikamore di le 8 tse di mo ntlong, go na le ditlhobolo tsa lesedi di le 2, 8 x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 ditlhobolo tsa lesedi.
Motho mongwe le mongwe o tshotse tlhobolo ya lesedi e le 1, 1 x batho ba le 4 = <<1*4=4>>4 ditlhobolo tsa lesedi.
Go kopane, go na le ditlhobolo tsa lesedi di le 16 + 4 = <<16+4=20>>20 mo ntlong tse di dirisiwang ke ba lelapa la ga Brianna.
Mo dikamoreng di le 4 tsa dikamore di le 8, go na le dikerese tse dinnye di le 4 mo kamoreng nngwe le nngwe, 8/2 x 4 = <<8/2*4=16>>16 dikerese tse dinnye mo dikamoreng di le 4.
Mo dikamoreng tse dingwe di le 4 tsa dikamore di le 8, go na le dikerese tse di magareng di le 5 mo kamoreng nngwe le nngwe, 8/2 x 5 = <<8/2*5=20>>20 dikerese tse di magareng mo dikamoreng tsotlhe.
Go kopane, go na le dikerese di le 16 + 20 = <<16+20=36>>36 mo ntlong.
Fa go kopanngwa tsotlhe, go na le ditlhobolo tsa lesedi di le 20 + dikerese di le 36 = <<20+36=56>>56 ditlhobolo tsa lesedi le dikerese mo ntlong.

Brendan dropped his marbles and was left with 10/2=<<10/2=5>>5 marbles.
He searched and found some of his lost marbles, getting him back to 5+3=<<5+3=8>>8 marbles.
He went home and removed a bead, leaving him with 8-1=<<8-1=7>>7 marbles.
