There is a bus with 7 girls.

Each girl has 7 bags.

In each bag, there are 7 big cats

Each big cat has 7 little cats.

Each cat has 4 legs.

 

Question: How many legs are present in the bus?

I'll throw out the obvious(ly wrong) answer to start. . . .

 

9618.

 

That's a pretty big bus. . .

10990

 

That would be correct.

7 big cats in each bag = 28 cat legs

49 little cats in each bag = 196 cat legs

total cat legs in each bag = 224 cat legs

224 cat legs times 7 bags = 1,568 cat legs

1,568 cat legs times 7 girls cause each have 7 bags = 10,976 cat legs

10,976 cat legs + 14 girl legs = 10,990 total legs

 

No?

maybe--RR has probably been nipping at the scotch again and will come in with some ridiculous explanation for why it really isn't the right answer

 

:wacko: It's all good, some things in life are more important.

If you answered 10990 then you have made an assumption based on the information given...but 10990

is not definitively the correct answer...it is a possible answer and nothing more

 

 

 

The question states how many legs the cats have but not the girls
