| | Posted: | | | | This is a 5th grade math problem. It's not a trick question. And don't say that "a bus has no legs", and there is no driver on the bus (so don't include him/her).
Read carefully:
There are 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.
Question: How many legs are there in the bus?? | | | Peter

| | Posted: | | | | where's the problem, unless I'm misreading it totally it should be 10990 legs
7 girls
343 big cats
2401 little cats
->
7*2+343*4+2401*4= 10990 legs | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | | thanks for the two positives I got on this seriously though, what exactly was your point? That this one is too hard for a 5th grader? It might be, but it heavily depends on the kind of math education they got within the first four years. | | | | - Jan |
