Go na le dibuka di le nne di tlhamaletse mo shelofong. Buka ya ntlha e na le bokima jwa 31 mm fa buka ya bobedi yone e le 50 mm. Buka ya boraro e bokima jo bo kwa tlase go feta jwa ya bobedi ka 5 mm, mme buka ya bofelo yone e bokima gabedi go feta ya ntlha.  A bokima jotlhe jwa dibuka tse nne ke bokae? 

Nick had twice as many candies as George. Then George ate 5 candies. Now George has 3 candies left. How many candies does Nick have?
Bokima jwa buka ya boraro ke 50 - 5 = <<50-5=45>>45 mm.
Bokima jwa buka ya bofelo ke 31 x 2 = <<31*2=62>>62 mm.
Jalo he, bokima jotlhe jwa dibuka tse nne ke 31 + 50 + 45 + 62 = <<31+50+45+62=188>>188 mm.
#### 188 mm 

George has 3 candies now but he already ate 5. So he had 5 + 3 = <<5+3=8>>8 candies at the start.
Nick had twice as many candies as George, so he had 2 * 8 = <<2*8=16>>16 candies originally.
