Math Puzzle

The problem is as follows:

The Bus has 7 Children, each with 7 backpacks, each with 7 cats, each of those with 7 little cats: How many legs? Bus driver does not count.


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?

Girl #1 has 7 back packs

1st Backpack has 7 big cats

Each big cat has 7 kittens

So makes that 1 big cat + 7 kittens = 8 cats per bag

7 cat's X 7 kittens in each bag. (7 bags total)

56 Cats per bag (8x7)

56 cats per bag X 7 bags= 392

EACH Girl has 392 cats

392 X 7 bags = 2744 cats

2744 x 4 legs = 10976 (cats)

10976 + 14 = 10990 (legs)

(2744 total number of cats in bus X 4 legs per cat = 10976 total cat legs)
