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

### Instruction:
Jeanine bought 18 pencils and Clare bought half as many pencils. If Jeanine gave one third of his pencils to Abby, how many more pencils than Clare does Jeanine have now?

### Response:
 Clare alinunua nusu ya penseli za Jeanine 18, maana yake Clare alinunua 18/2 = <<18/2=9>>9 penseli.
Theluthi moja ya penseli za Jeanine 18 ni 18/3 = <<18/3=6>>6 penseli.
Jeanine alipotoa theluthi moja ya penseli zake kwa Abby, alibaki na penseli 18 - 6 = <<18-6=12>>12.
Clare alinunua penseli 9 wakati Jeanine ana penseli 12 sasa, maana yake Jeanine ana penseli 12 - 9 = <<12-9=3>>3 zaidi kuliko Clare.
