  1. Right- Here's how I calculated it

    7x4=28 (number of big cats in each backpack x how many legs they each have = 28 big cats legs)

    28x7=196 (Number of legs of 7 cats x number of big cats in the bag= number of all little cats legs)

    196+28=224 (Big cats legs + little cats legs = all legs in each back pack)

    224x7=1568 (all legs in each backpack x how many one girl has = number of legs each girl carries)

    1568+2=1570 (Number of all legs in backpacks + girl's legs = number of legs per unit)

    1570x7=10, 990 (number of legs in one unit x number of units = total number of legs

    not including the bus driver! if we include then 10,992


  2. 7 legs on the bus!

  3. None?

    The bus doesn't have legs.

    Plus it doesn't say wether the girls and the cats actually have any legs!

  4. It Doesn't Say  Anything About The Girls Being On The Bus

    So The Answer Is Unknown

  5. Girls = 7

    BackpacksPerGirl = 7

    BigCatsPerBackpack = 7

    LittleCatsPerBigCat = 7

    TotalBackpacks = Girls x BackpacksPerGirl or 49

    BigCats = BigCatsPerBackpack x TotalBackpacks or 343

    LittleCats = LittleCatsPerBigCat x BigCats or 2401

    GirlsLegs = Girls x 2 legs or 14

    plus

    BigCatsLegs = BigCats x 4 legs or 1372

    plus

    LittleCatsLegs = LittleCats x 4 legs or 9604

    equals

    10990

  6. none - the bus has wheels, not legs.

  7. Four legs. The driver and the conductor has 2 each.

  8. 14 the only legs "ON" the bus are the girls the rest are in the back packs, right?

  9. the riddle actually states that it is 7 girls waiting for the bus. This means that there are 2 legs on the bus (the drivers)

    The way you have written it the answer could be either:

    1: 0 (the bus has no legs)

    2: 16 (7 girls plus the driver each have 2 legs which touch the bus)

    3: 228 (all the kittens plus cats plus girls plus driver who all have legs which are located inside the bus)

    4: take one of the above answers but adjust for disabilities.
