7 girls = 14 legs

7x7 = 49 backpacks

49 x 7 = 343 big cats

343 x 4 = 1372 legs

343 x 7 = 2401

2401 x 4 = 9604 legs



9604 + 14 + 1372 = 10990 legs altogether

No: of girls = 7

Total No: of backpacks=7(per girl)*7(no: of girls)

=49 backpacks

Total No: of cats=7(in each bag)*49(no: of bags )

=343

Total No: of kittens=7(per cat)*343(no: of cats)

=2401

No: of legs=7*2(girls)+343*4(cats)2401*4(kittens)

= 14 + 1372 + 9604

= 10990

7 girls and each have 7 backpacks so thats 49 backpacks. there are 7 big cats per backpack so 49x7=343 7 kittens per big cat; there are 343 big cats so 343x7=2401 there are 2401 cats and they have 4 legs so 2401x4=9604 and there are 7 girls with 2 legs each so 9604+14= 9618?? is that correct?

4*7^4 (kittens)

+4*7^3 (cats)

+2*7 girls

=4 * 2401 + 4*343 + 14 = 9604 + 1372 + 14 = 10990

28 as the legs of the cats and kittens are not on the bus, they are on the bags.
