Question 113544: There are 7 girls on 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?
I thought it might be
7*4*7=196 cats legs per bag
there are 7 bags so you have 196x7=1372+14=1386 legs per girl
so we take 1386x7=9702 legs on the bus.
Is this correct or did I not do the math properly?

There are 7 girls on a bus=====================14 legs
Each girl has 7 backpacks
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats=========7*7*4 legs
For every big cat there are 7 little cats======7^2*7*4 legs
---------------
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?
7^3*4 + 7^2*4 + 7*2
= 1372+ 196 + 14
= 1582 legs
