if we do not count the bus driver 7 women= 7*2=14 then 7 bags which contains 7 big cats each = 7*4=28 = 28*7=196 each cat has 7 smaller cats= 7*4=28 = 28*7=196 196*2=392 392+14=406 my answer is 406 legs right or wrong?

each bag contains 56 cats that is 224 legs Each girl carries 7*56 cats that is 392 cats- 1568 legs 7 girls carry 7*392 cats=2744 cats that is 10976 legs in addition 14 legs of the girls equals to 10990 If you add a driver then there are 10992 legs otherwise there are 10990 legs

Well, if you are referring to the total number of legs of all the animals and people who are on the bus, then the first person who responded probably has the right answer, though I did not do the math myself to know for sure, lol. However, if you are asking how many legs does the bus itself have, then the answer would be none, since buses do not have legs.

There are 14 legs actually on the bus .Am I right? The 7 bags are in the hands of the girls and the cats are in them and the cats carries 7 smaller ones . Therefore total legs on the bus are two legs of seven girls.

So ... there are: 7 girls - 2 * 7 = 14 legs 343 big cats - 343 * 4 = 1372 legs 2401 smaller cats - 2401 * 4 = 9604 legs 14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 legs. If you consider that the bus have also a driver, you must say that there are 2 legs more. Bye bye
