7 girls = 14 legs
49 bags
49 * 7 = 343 cats (1372 legs)
2401 kittens = 9604 legs
total = 14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 legs or 10992 with the driver

1 kitten : 4 legs
7 kittens : 7 legs X 4 = 28 legs
1 cat : 4 legs
7 kittens : 28 legs
1 cat and its 7 kittens : 4 + 28 = 32 legs
7 cats and their kittens : 32 legs X 7 = 224 legs
1 bag : 224 legs
7 bags : 224 legs X 7 = 1568 legs
1 girl : 2 legs
1 girl and her 7 bags : 2 + 1568 = 1570 legs
7 girls and their bags : 1570 legs X 7 = 10990 legs
If you wish to include the bus driver (2 more legs), there will be 10990 + 2 = 10992 legs in all.
Otherwise, the number of legs on the bus woud be 10990.
I hope this has helped you =).

7 girls: 7 x 2 = 14 legs
All cats: 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 1372 legs
All kittens: 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 x 4 = 9604 legs
All legs in the bus: 14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 legs

1girl has 2 legs
7girls have (7*2) = 14 legs
1cat has 4 legs
7 cats have (7*4) = 28 legs
1kitten has 4 legs
7kittens have (7*4) = 28 legs
total legs in bus
But each girl carries 7 bags than
(28 + 28)*7
= No. legs of girls + 392
= 14 + 392
total legs in bus = 406 legs

7 girls = 14 legs
49 bags = 56 cats ((1+7)*7) each bag = 2744 cats = 4 legs each cat = 10976 legs
driver = 2 legs
all together: 14+10976+2=10992

7 -Girls x2 = 14.
x7 49 -Bags
x7 343 -Cats x 4 = 1372.
x7 2401 -Kittens x 4 = 9604.
Total - Sum of Legs = 10990. + 2 if Driver is there .
(Diver is included as one of the girls then = 10990)(lol)

= (7 *2) + (7 * 7 * 7 * 4) + (7 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 4)
= 14 + 1,372 + 9,604
= 10,990
Answer: girls have 14 legs, cats have 1,372 legs and kittens have 9,604 legs for a total legs in the bus of 10,990.
