Hi there,

Can you solve this task?

You see seven sisters standing around the kitchen table. Every sister has her own backpack. In each backpack there are seven large cats. And guess what! For every big cat there are also seven small kittens. The question is – how many legs are in the room?

Answer :

7 girls: 14 legs
7 backpacks * 7 (1big cats +7 kittens): 1568 legs (assuming 4 legs each)
1 table: 4 legs
total: 14+1568+4 = 1586 legs

We have 7 people which result ----> 7 * 2 = 14 legs

Also, the table has 4 legs

The number of the big cats is 7 *7 =49 (big cats)

For every big cat we have ---> 49 * 4= 196 legs

For every big cat we have 7 small cats which means --> 49 * 7= 343 (small kittens)

The number of legs for small kittens is 343 * 4 = 1372 legs

The number of legs is:

14+4+196+1372= 1586 legs are in total
