"This is a 5th grade math problem. This is not a trick question. This is a real math problem so don't say that the bus doesn't have 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.
The bus driver is not in the bus at this time.

Question:
How many legs are there in the bus?"

Good Luck!

A) 1,582
B) 238
C) 10,990
D) 406

7 girls, each with 7 backpacks
49 back packs
each back pack has 7 big cats
49x7= 343 big cats
Every big cats there is 7 little cats
343x7= 2401 little cats
How many legs are on the bus?

7 girls= 14 legs
343 big cats= 1372 cat legs
2401 little cats= 9604 cats legs

total= 10990

answer is C
