New Problem

Pirate Swords

On the pirate ship there are 24 pirate swords. Each pirate 
has 2 swords.If half the pirates lost a sword in battle and a 
quarter of the pirates each gained a new sword, how many 
swords would there now be on the pirate ship?
If a third of the swords were then lost how many would 
there be left?

Good Luck and remember to put your answer in the comments area... change who the comment is from- google account or name and url, if you are not sure ask and I will help you.

Remember the ways we have solved our problems at school. Use equipment, draw a picture, read the question and work out what you have to find out.
