Buddy, Louis, Mabel and Spot are all puppies and are playing in the forest. They notice seven bees and five cockroaches, and they spot eight spiders in the trees. There are also three deer and four boars. Behind a bush, they can see a pair of antlers. How many legs do all the numbered beasts combined amount to?

188 legs

Step-by-step explanation:

A game of legs!

In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of legs of animals present in the question.

Let's first identify the individual brands of animals present. We have;

4 dogs, 7 bees, 5 cockroaches, 8 spiders, 3 deers, 4 boars and 2 antlers.

A dog has 4 legs; this means total number of legs contributed by the dogs to the pool will be 4 * 4 = 16 legs

A bee has six legs; total number of bees legs is thus 7 * 6 = 42 legs

A cockroach has 6 legs; total number of cockroaches legs is 6 * 5 = 30 legs

8 spiders have a total of 8 * 8 = 64 legs

3 deers, 4 boars and 2 antlers have 4 legs each making a total of 9 * 4 = 36 legs

The total number of legs present is thus; 36 + 64 + 30 + 42 + 16 = 188 legs
