Answer 7

70?

unless its a trick question, and theres a bus driver or somthing?

Answer 8

the answer is: 10,992 legs

Answer 9

In what parallel universe is this math problem taking place?  Where are there little girls who are strong enough to carry seven backpacks - which each hold 56 cats?  Since when are backpacks - by definition, a pack a human being can carry on his or her back - big enough to hold seven large cats and 49 small cats?  Are the cats getting along in there?  Are they dead?  Should I call the SPCA?  

And the final answer is a really large number, which someone other than me took the time to figure out...how did all of those little girls, big cats, and little cats (alive or dead) fit on ONE BUS?  Is this Noah's Ark, and I'm just supposed to take it on faith?  Because I don't.  I reject this so-called math problem and its ridiculous ramifications.

Answer 10

tashajo ..... this IS NOT a real Maths Q. , i`ve done the Audition Papers for 5th grader and you are wrong.

the correct answer IS:

there are NO legs on a Bus , only Wheels.

though , if you do require a `number` answer ,

7 girls x 2 legs = 14

7 cats x 4 legs = 28

7 kittens for 7 cats = 7 x4 =28 x 7 = 196

196 +

  28 +

  14 =    238 + 2 (for the driver) =   240.

BUT , sill no "legs" on the BUS.

Answer 11

No its like 10990 or something like that from memory.  You use it to open the pass code for the spreadsheet.  You add your name to the bottom of the list and forwarded it on for the next person to crack.

Answer 12

none buses dont have legs

Answer 13

70 legs -

28 big cat legs (7*4)

28 little cat legs

14 girl legs(7*2)

add it all up

Answer 14

Kittens are cute!

Answer 15

many legs? assuming there is no one else aboard the bus (i.e. bus driver) and that each girl has two legs and each cat has four, there should be 10,990 legs.

Answer 16

Buses dont have legs

Answer 17

798 not counting the driver

Answer 18

212

Answer 19

We think it is11,350, unless there is and driver with 2 legs, for 11,352

Answer 20

70

14 cats total. 4 legs on each. 56

7 girls. 14 legs total..

70 all together

Answer 21

10990

Answer 22

could the 5th grader get it right?

edit: for every big cat there are 7 little cats so we count otherwise:

* bus driver = 2 legs

* 7 girls = 14 legs

* 1 big cat with 7 little cats = 8 cats = 8*4= 32

* there are 7 big cats and each big cat has 7 little cats = 32*7= 224 legs

* total number of legs = 224+ 14+ 2= 240 legs

I edited bcz I counted them 72 b4 with only seven big cats and seven little cats.

now what is the right answer? can u email it to me plz when u choose ur BA? thanks

Answer 23

if you mean the no. of legs which include the girls, the big cats and the small cats then the no. is 238.but if you mean the bus then none.

Answer 24

my lil bro is a 5th grader and he could not figure this out.

Answer 25

10990 legs

1 girls = 2 legs

7 packs with 7 big cats = 49 big cats =196 legs

7 big cats with 7 little cats = 343 little cats = 1372 legs

total legs per girl = 1570

1570 x 7 (there are 7 girls) = 10990 legs

(If you count the driver - not mentioned - it's 10992)

Answer 26

I can't resist sh*t like this.

I got 10,990 as well

7 girls

49 backpacks, 7 cats per backpack: 49x7= 343 cats

7 kittens for each cat = 343 x 7 = 2401 kittens

7x2=14 legs

343 x 4 = 1372 legs

2401 x 4 = 9604 legs

add 'em up and get 10,990 legs

I bet this bus smells AWESOME

Answer 27

14 legs (7 girls x 2 legs each) but 16 if you add the bus driver's legs unless they're just sitting in the bus.

Answer 28

i dont feel like putting forth enough effort to figure it out

Answer 29

Are the backpacks on the bus too? Are the cats in the bag pregnant.
