maths question

[burston]

7 girls on a bus
each girl has 7 backpacks
In each backpack there are 7 Big cats
For every Big Cat there are 7 Little cats
How many legs are there on the bus

This is not a trick question

I cant get it but can anyone else ?

[Tichfield]

The last time this was asked I wanted to know if the bus driver was also on the bus.

[squarebear]

14 on the children
7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372 on the big cats
and 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604 on the kittens.

Making a total of 10,990 legs altogether, assuming it's not a trick question.

No bus driver was mentioned in the question.

Did the RSPCA know that all these pussy cats were crowded onto this bus?

As squarebear says, assuming it's not a trick question - how do you know if any of the kids or cats are amputees ?

Anyway, my personal favourite answer to this - there are no legs on the bus - buses have wheels, not legs.

How do you know it's not a trick question - they usually are! I'd say the answer is 0; buses don't have legs.
If not, then here goes: In each backpack there are 49 little cats and 7 big cats; 56 cats in total, each with 4 legs. So 224 legs in each backpack. There are 49 backpacks: 10976 legs altogether. Plus, of course, the girls' own 14 legs. I make it 10,990

I have just input the answer of 10990 and it is correct. So thanks to all who got it right. I still dont understand it but will look at it and see where I was going wrong. Thanks again
