    ok so...14 girls legs

    1372 mother cat legs

    and 2401 kittens with 4 legs=9604

    altogether and not including the legs of any of their seats or amputations that comes to..10990 legs

    if each girl has 2 legs, and each cat has 4 legs and each kitten has 4 legs, then there are:

    7 girls * 2 legs=14 legs

    7 backpacks * 7 cats = 49 cats

    49 cats * 4 legs =2401 legs

    49 cats * 7 kittens = 343 kittens

    343 kittens * 4 legs =1372 legs

    2415 legs if the kittens are not on the bus

    3787 legs if each kitten is on the bus

    oh i figured this out seconds after i originally posted it, if the backpacks are not on the bus then there are 14 legs

    other answers ( if some backpacks/kittens are on the bus and some aren't) range between 14 and 3787 legs

    (not counting seat legs or random legs not mentioned)

    oh or of course you could be being a pain to every one (no offense) and there are no legs on the bus, only wheels ( or even saying that cats don't have legs they have paws, making it 14 legs)

    P.S. sorry it's so long :-)

    There are 350 legs on the bus including the seven girls and the 49 cats each girl has.

    1. 7 x 2 = 14.

    There are 14 legs on the bus.

    - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +

    2. 7 x 2 = 14 legs

    7 x 4 (Cat) = 28

    7 x 4 (Kittens) = 28

    28 +28 + 14 = 70

    There are 70 legs on the bus.

    I don't know, how many people are standing ON the bus? There are 154 legs IN the bus, l think...

    first of all, your question is in the wrong category! It should be in homework help.

    Secondly, the question just requires simple multiplication.

    7 girls times 2 legs is 14 legs. 14 legs times 49 cats times 4 legs times 7 kittens times 4 legs equals 76832 legs.

    Simple.

    The bus doesn't have legs, it has wheels.
