How many legs

Level pending

There are five couples, each one inside a car. In each car there are five cats. If we count every leg that exists inside the cars, how many will we count in total?


The answer is 120.

couple means 4legs cat has 4 legs so in each car five cats and a couple, it means 24 legs in each car total five cars so total legs= 5*24=120

we only need to follow the counting technique

so,

we know a couple means a pair.............so one couple include a boy and a girl. that means 4 legs in all.

we have 5 cars. So, multiply 4 with 5 and we get 20 ( because we have 5 couples and 5 cars which means 4 legs in 1 car each!!)

next we have 5 cats in each car which means 20 legs in one car( since 5 cats , 4 legs of one cat . multiply 5 with 4)

now multiply 20 with 5= 100( as we have 2o legs of cats and 5 cars). now totaling the legs of cats and couples= 100+20= 120

Just find the number of legs in each car them multiply it with 5

so

Number of legs in 1 car=24

total number of legs=24x5=120legs
