Wild guess here. But I would say 72 legs in the bus. The extra two are the bus driver.

Read it wrong. Need to refigure.

 

[WorkFE]

I would say 238
or 240 if there is a driver. But I am certain the catch is over my head

Not quite......there are several more. Don't assume there is a driver.
No driver in his right mind would allow all of those cats on the bus. Especially, since most drivers are in charge of keeping the bus clean.

Here ya' go.

There are 7 girls in a bus

Each girl has 7 backpacks

In each backpack, there are 7 big cats

For every big cat there are 7 little cats

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

I will say 1584 legs on the bus.

Hint: No tricks here...... just a straight forward question. You don't need to be a GS-810-XX to solve.

7 girls X 7 backpacks X 7 big cats/backpack = 343 big cats

 

[Frixxxx]

10990?

 

[CapeChem]

i agree with frixxx.
7*2=14 girls legs
7*7= 49 backpacks
49*7*4 = 1372 big cat legs
49*7*7*4= 9604 little cat legs

10990 legs

 

[Gumby]

10990?

Frixxxx
Very good!

7 girls X 7 backpacks X 7 big cats/backpack = 343 big cats.
For each big cat there are 7 little cats...so 343 big cats X 7 kitties/big cat = 2,401 little cats
total cats = 343 + 2,401 = 2,744

Calculate total legs:
2,744 cats X 4 legs/cat = 10,976 legs
7 girls X 2 legs/girl = 14 legs

Total = 10,990 legs on bus

 

[Gumby]

i agree with frixxx.
7*2=14 girls legs
7*7= 49 backpacks
49*7*4 = 1372 big cat legs
49*7*7*4= 9604 little cat legs

10990 legs
