5th Grade Math Question

[Phenom]

This is not a trick question (so don't say that a bus doesn't have
legs). This is a real math problem and everything you need to answer it
is in the following:

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?

7 Girls = 14 legs

343 Big Cats = 1,372 legs

2401 little cats = 9,604 legs


Total of 10,990 legs

1582 ?

Girls = 7

Big cats = 7 x 7 x 7 = 343

Little cats = 343 x 7 = 2401

Legs = (343 +2401)(4) + (7)(2) = 10,990

Girls = 7

Big cats = 7 x 7 x 7 = 343

Little cats = 343 x 7 = 2401

Legs = (343 +2401)(4) + (7)(2) = 10,990

:clap: I think 10,992 is an acceptable answer as well, what about the bus driver :shrug:

You said they're in a bus. You never said anything about the bus moving, hence no bus driver.

you sound like Kramer from Seinfeld asking "what about the driver"? Don't know what made me think of that?
