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

### Instruction:
James decides to try and collect rare artifacts in the field.  He spends 6 months researching before going on a 2-year-long expedition for his first find.  The second artifact takes 3 times as long for the research and discovery.  How long did it take him to find both?

### Response:
 Alichukua miezi 6/12=<<6/12=.5>>.5 kufanya utafiti.
Hivyo ilimchukua miaka 2+.5=<<2.5=2.5>>2.5 kupata kipande cha kwanza.
Utafiti ulichukua miaka 3*2.5=<<3*2.5=7.5>>7.5 kwa ajili ya kipande cha pili.
Hivyo ilimchukua miaka 7.5+2.5=<<7.5+2.5=10>>10 kumpata vyote viwili.
