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

### Instruction:
Anna wants to grow some lettuce in the garden and would like to grow enough to have at least 12 large salads. She estimates that, despite her best efforts, half of the lettuce will be lost to insects and rabbits. Each lettuce plant is estimated to provide 3 large salads. How many lettuce plants should Anna grow in the garden?

### Response:
 Kwa kuwa Anna anatarajia kupoteza nusu ya mimea yake kwa wadudu na sungura, tunapaswa kupanda mimea mara mbili au 12 * 2 = <<12*2=24>>24 mimea.
Kisha, tunagawanya idadi ya mimea inayohitajika na idadi ya saladi kila mmea unatoa ili kupata idadi ya mimea inayohitajika kuwalisha watu 12, 24 / 3 = <<24/3=8>>8 mimea.
