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

### Instruction:
Of the 24 students in class, one-third are in the after-school chess program, and half of those students will be absent from school on Friday for the regional chess tournament. How many of the students in this class are going to that tournament?

### Response:
 Kwa kuwa theluthi moja ya wanafunzi 24 wako katika programu, kuna (1/3)*24 = <<(1/3)*24=8>>8 wanafunzi katika programu ya chess.
Na kwa kuwa nusu ya wanafunzi hao watakuwa hawapo kwa ajili ya mashindano, 8*(1/2) = <<8*(1/2)=4>>4 wanafunzi watakwenda mashindano.
