Question

7 girls have 7 bags with 7 cats per bag and each cat has 7 kittens.How many legs are there?

Answer 1

Definitive answer

in each bag we have 7cats plus 49 kittens ie 56 cats. therefore total cats are:-

7girls x 7bags x 56cats ie 2744 cats

therefore total legs are 2744 x 4 (cats) plus 7 x 2 (girls)

ie 10976 plus 14

10990 tada

Answer 2

Oh dear, so many different answers! Please take it simple, too high figures can mean that you get confused. Do it so you don't need a calculator.

There are seven 4-legged catfamilies of 8 cats in each bag = 8x4=32 legs per family.

7 familys per bag gets 32x7= 224

The carrier has 2 legs which makes 224+2=226 legs per bag/carrier.

7 bags/carriers means 7x226 = 1582 legs.

nm518 has the same result as me..

It is just too many cats, not a real world problem.

Answer 3

girls legs:  girls*2legs each = 14 girls' legs

cat legs: 7bag*7catseachbag=49cats*4legseach=196 cat legs

kitten legs: like shown before: 49cats*7kittens each=343kittens*4legs each=1372 kitten legs

grand total= 14+196+1372= 1582 legs

Answer 4

The last two times I saw this, each girl had 7 bags, making 49 bags.   Did you copy it correctly?

Answer 5

1386  (7 girls = 14 legs; 7 bags, 7 cats per, 7 kittens per = 7^3 = 343 cats/kittens; 343*4=1372 legs; 1372+14=1386)

Answer 6

7 girls have 2 legs = 14

7 cats have 4 legs = 28

49 Kittens have 4 legs = 196

238 legs?

Answer 7

Dunno, are any of them amputees?

Answer 8

9611

Answer 9

14 showing the rest are covered and 7 are bags.

Answer 10

1372legs

Answer 11

7 girls= 14 legs

+49 legs in bags

2401=14

2415

Answer 12

10990 legs

Answer 13

14, just cos the girls have the bags doesn't mean they are there.

Answer 14

Think I've got it figured:

7 girls:

7 x 2 = 14 human legs.

7 cats with 7 kittens each in 7 bags:

7 cats x 7 kittens= 49 kittens

7 cats + 49 kittens per bag = 56 total cats per bag

56 cats x 7 bags = 392 cats total

343 x 4 legs = 1568 cat legs

1568 cat legs + 14 human legs  = 1582 legs total

This is assuming that each of the 7 girls has 1 of the 7 bags (for a total of 7 bags altogether, not 7 bags per girl).

Answer 15

The answer is 2758.

Answer 16

Ok so not using "real world logic" and ignoring the "what ifs"... i.e. purely from a mathematical point of view:

GIRLS:

7 girls, 2 legs each = 7 x 2 = 14 girl legs

CATS:

7 cats/bag, 7 bags = 7 x 7 = 49 cats x 4 legs/cat = 196 cat legs

KITTENS:

49 cats, 7 kittens/cat = 7 x 49 = 343 kittens x 4 legs/kitten = 1372 kitten legs

GIRL LEGS + TOTAL CAT LEGS = 1582 total legs.

Answer 17

None of them are here.Where is there?

Answer 18

14 visible legs.

Aren't the rest of them in a bag?

....Oh and I know these are Math Q's, but linguistically it suggests 7 girls have 7 bags (between them) and each bag has 7 cats within. The question does not stipulate whether the kittens are present, so I'd go with 7 bags x (7 cats x 4 legs each) + (7 girls x 2 legs each) = 210 legs.
