5th grade math problem

[redimport]

Can anyone answer this question...

This is a 5th grade math problem. If you can open the spreadsheet, you'll see it's a very small list, but growing, of people who have gotten the correct number. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that a bus has no legs. 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?

[Whiteboy™]

14+196+1372= 1,582?

[redimport]

wrong read the question again

[redrumracer]

there arent any legs "in" the bus but there are legs on the bus

[Benefit]

16 including the bus driver

[man]

10990

Who said anything about a bus driver?

[Benefit]

who the f is driving them to school then

[atlvi3tb0i]

10990 hhhahaha

[man]

who the f is driving them to school then

Maybe the bus driver is one of the 7 girls?

[On_Her_Face]

3 legs

[Sledlude]

10,990 is what i got, and then 2 more if you count the driver? seems easy enough, but the easy ones are tricky

[rizzler]

repost.

Human:

Girls: 7 x 2 = 14

Total: 14 human legs


Animal:

Big cats: 7 x 7 x7 = 343 big cats x 4 legs = 1372 legs
lil cats: 343 x 7 = 2401 small cats x 4 legs = 9604 legs

Total Animal legs = 10976

simple math problem and people takes things too complicated.

Total number is 10,990.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

238million?

[ATK_Designs]

Now the real question is:

How on earth do they get that many cats to fit in there?

[Benefit]

are the girls retarded? 7 in a bus?...

[BiH1320]

42

[BiH1320]

1??

[Sledlude]

42


LOL. that was a great movie/book.

[blackshine007]

There's 14 legs in the bus. That's my final answer.

[Jecht]

14... it said there are 7 girls on the bus but it did NOT say that the backpacks, big cats, or small cats are on the bus.

[blackshine007]

^^ Exactly.

[Evil Goat]

Another simple math problem. Jackass joins IA in Nov 2005, has made a total of 3 posts, two of which are in this thread. How many months until he returns to give us the "real" answer?

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

7 girls x 2 legs = 14 legs

7 girls x 7 backpacks = 49 backpacks

49 backpacks x 7 cats = 343 cats

343 big cats x 4 legs = 1372 legs

343 big cats x 7 little cats = 2401 cats in total

2401 little cats x 4 legs(EACH) = 9604 legs

so in total = 10990 legs



and might i correct your improper use of writing skills



Question: How many legs are there ON the bus?

Lol we should neg rep him for this thread. He probably won't get on for another two years or so; it will be a loonnngg time before he notices. :lmao:

[RandomGuy]

I say 2....

because 7 people on a BUS? it must be the short bus and none of them have legs... They get on with the hydraulic wheel chair lifter thing... I guess it takes 1 person to operate that so 4 legs?

2 for the driver and 2 for the operator of the wheel chair lifter contraption...

Oh yeah they leave their bookbags at home because they can't carry them bc post-colombine the wheel chairs can now longer have the carriages up front to hold the books.

You are on your way to visit your Grandma, who lives at the end of the valley. It's her birthday, and you want to give her the cakes you've made.

Between your house and her house, you have to cross 7 bridges, and as it goes in the land of make believe, there is a troll under every bridge! Each troll, quite rightly, insists that you pay a troll toll. Before you can cross their bridge, you have to give them half of the cakes you are carrying, but as they are kind trolls, they each give you back a single cake.

How many cakes do you have to leave home with to make sure that you arrive at Grandma with exactly 2 cakes?

[ISAtlanta300]

As I was going to St Ives
I met a man with seven wives
And every wife had seven sacks
And every sack had seven cats
And every cat had seven kits
Kits, cats, sacks, wives
How many were going to St Ives?

Actually, just one. The key words was "As I was going to St. Ives.."
The man could've been sitting on the side of the road and wanted to make conversation. Didn't say anything about him going to St. Ives.

[Got Milk?]

up to interpretation, i've heard my version where you're both supposedly going there, and your version, where you just meet him somewhere and he didn't go.
