It's in the Numbers

This is a real 5th grade math problem. It is not a trick question, so don't say that a bus has no legs. *grin*

Ready? Okay.

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.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

Good luck, and have fun!

Yay!! I knew you were so smart! Really, it is a tough question though...you have to remember to count all the cats for each cat and each bag and each girl. I can't believe it's a 5th-grade question. LOL!!
