Legs

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?

  1. 7*7 = 14 girl legs
    7*7 = 49 big cats
    7*7=49*7 = 343 lil' cats
    49*4 = 196 big cat legs
    343*4 = 1372 lil' cat legs
    1372+196+14 = 1,582 legs
