5th grade math problem

[chinitoxamor]

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?

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
