Greg o na le alaeme e e tlhomilweng go lela makgetlho a le mararo ka letsatsi go mo gopotsa. Fa alaeme e lela, e tswelela go lela go fitlhelela Greg a e tima. Lekgetlho la ntlha e lela gompieno, e ledile makgetlho a le mane. Lekgetlho la bobedi e lela, e ledile lobaka lo lo leele ganè go feta la ntlha. Lekgetlho la boraro, e ledile sephatlo sa lobaka la bobedi. Alaeme e ledile makgetlho a makae ka kakaretso? 

Greg has an alarm set to ring three times a day as a reminder. When the alarm goes off, it continues to ring until Greg turns it off. The first time it went off today, it rang four times. The second time it went off, it rang for three times as long as the first time. The third time, it rang for half as long as the second time. How many times did the alarm ring in all?
Lekgetlho la bobedi alaeme ya ga Greg e lela, e ledile lobaka lo lo leele ganè go feta la ntlha, ka jalo e ledile makgetlho a le 3 * 4 = <<3*4=12>>12 lekgetlho la bobedi.
Lekgetlho la boraro e lela, e ledile sephatlo sa lobaka la bobedi, ka jalo e ledile makgetlho a le 12 / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 lekgetlho la boraro.
Ka kakaretso, alaeme ya ga Greg e ledile makgetlho a le 4 + 12 + 6 = <<4+12+6=22>>22.

The second time Greg’s alarm went off, it rang three times as long as the first, so it rang 3 * 4 = <<3*4=12>>12 times the second time.
The third time it went off, it rang half as long as the second, so it rang 12 / 2 = <<12/2=6>>6 times the third time.
In all, Greg’s alarm rang 4 + 12 + 6 = <<4+12+6=22>>22 times.
