"There are 7 students each student has 7 cages. Each cage has 7 cats each cat has 7 kittens. How many legs are there?"
My work and answer as are follows.
student 1 <==== ok
cage 1 <==== ok
7 cats <=== ok
49 kittens <=== ok
224 ft per cage <=== ok. 196 kitten legs (4 times 49) + 28 cat legs (4 times 7)
1568 ft per kid + 2 ft <=== ok. 224 per cage times 7 cages per student = 1568 and add 2 student legs
.
1570 legs per student times 7 students = 10,990 <=== ok
I have the answer as 10,990 legs <=== That's what I got also ...
