Pirate Swords

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? 18 Swords

Because half of the pirates lost a sword in a battle but which would = 12 but then a quarter of the pirates got one sword each more that's 6 so then 12 + 6 = 18


If a third of the swords were then lost how many would there be left? 0 Swords

Because a third of 24 is 18 so 18 - 18 = 0
