Let L be the number of legs.

L/4 * 25 = 100
L/4 = 100/25
L/4 = 4
L = 4 * 4
L = 16

The number of legs is 16.

Double-check:
16 divided by 4 --> get 4
4 multiplied by 25 --> get 100

Check!

The answer is 16 legs.

It's 16

16/4*25 = 100

4*25 = 100

Suppose X are the legs
(X/4) * 25 = 100
X = 16

16, rite? you would do the inverse operations, divide by 25 first, then multiply by 4.
