  3. Denis Gabrans

    Bronze
    Tripods have 3 legs.
    Bipods have 2 legs.
    3×5=15
    2×4=8
    15+8=23

  4. Sahkib Uddin

    Bronze:
    3X2=6
    There are not 23 although there are 6.
    Another way to do this is to do:
    13×1=13
    2×5=10
    Add both of those two answers then you will get 23 which would be the answer you would be looking for.
    Silver:
    The tripods have 3 legs
    The quadpods have 4 legs
    So I think you would do this
    3×6=18
    4×3=12
    So there are 18 tripods and 12 quadpods.Then add both of those two numbers to get your answer which is 30

    There are 3 quadpods and 6 tripods.
    There are 3 quapods because 4 times 3 is 12.
    There are 6 tripods because 3 times 6 is 18 and when you add 18 and 12 it makes 30 altogether. So i think there is 3 quadpods and 3 tripods.
