Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
At the end of a circus act, there are 12 dogs on stage.  Half of the dogs are standing on their back legs and the other half are standing on all 4 legs.  How many dog paws are on the ground?

### Response:
 Kuna mbwa 12 na nusu yao wamesimama kwa miguu yao ya nyuma, hivyo inamaanisha 12/2 = <<12/2=6>>6 wamesimama kwa miguu yao ya nyuma.
Mbwa ana miguu 2 ya nyuma na ni 6 tu wamesimama kwa miguu yao ya nyuma, hivyo kuna miguu 2*6 = <<2*6=12>>12 iko ardhini.
Mbwa wengine 6 wamesimama kwa miguu yote minne, hivyo mbwa hawa wana miguu 6*4 = <<6*4=24>>24 iko ardhini.
Ukiwachanganya, kuna jumla ya miguu 12+24 = <<12+24=36>>36 iko ardhini.
