if we do not count the bus driver
7 women= 7*2=14
then 7 bags which contains 7 big cats each = 7*4=28 = 28*7=196
each cat has 7 smaller cats= 7*4=28 = 28*7=196
196*2=392
392+14=406
my answer is 406 legs
right or wrong?

no sorry i forgot the fact that there are 7 bags so
392*7= 2744
2744+14=2758!!!

each bag contains 56 cats that is 224 legs
Each girl carries 7*56 cats that is 392 cats- 1568 legs
7 girls carry 7*392 cats=2744 cats that is 10976 legs
in addition 14 legs of the girls equals to 10990
If you add a driver then there are 10992 legs otherwise there are 10990 legs

Well, if you are referring to the total number of legs of all the animals and people who are on the bus, then the first person who responded probably has the right answer, though I did not do the math myself to know for sure, lol. However, if you are asking how many legs does the bus itself have, then the answer would be none, since buses do not have legs.

So ... there are:
7 girls - 2 * 7 = 14 legs
343 big cats - 343 * 4 = 1372 legs
2401 smaller cats - 2401 * 4 = 9604 legs
14 + 1372 + 9604 = 10990 legs.
If you consider that the bus have also a driver, you must say that there are 2 legs more.
Bye bye
