girls = 14 legs
7 girls x 7 backpacks x 7 cats x 4 legs = 1372
343 big cats x 7 little cats x 4 legs = 9604

14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990

As long as in the bus and on the bus are the same thing there are:

7girls X2 = 14 legs
7 backpacksx7 big cats = 49 big cats x 4 legs = 196 legs
49 big cats x7 little catsx 4 legs = 1372 legs

total = 1582 legs and a stinky bus

The 7 girls give you 14 legs.

Question, are those backpacks also on the bus or no? Second, if the big cats are in the backpack and the backpacks are on the bus, are the small cats also in the backpacks on the bus?

If the answer is yes, then,
there are 7^4=2401 cats which give you 2401*4=9604 legs so the total number of legs is 14+9604=9618.

Otherwise, the answer is 14 or whatever depending on who is on the bus or not.

emi has it.
10990 is the right answer.

7 girls x 2 legs per girl = 14 legs

7 girls x 7 backpacks x 7 big cats = 343 big cats
343 big cats x 4 legs per cat = 1372 legs

343 big cats x 7 little cats per big cat = 2491 little cats
2491 little cats x 4 legs per cat = 9964 legs

9964 legs + 1372 legs + 14 legs = 10990 legs

I assume 2 legs of girls and 4 legs of cats. So, I say (2x7)+7x7(4x7)+ 7(7x4)= (14)+ (1372)+ (196)=1582 legs?

7 girls = 14 legs
7 cats = 28 legs
49 kittens = 343 legs
343 + 28 + 14 = 385 legs

There you go ;-)
