    There are 6 Hexapods

    There are 3 Octopods

    I solved this by using division and multipacation

    There are 2 Hexapods and 6 Octopods

    There are 6 legs for Hexapods

    There are 8 legs for Octopods

    If you x 6 x 2 you will get 12

    If you x 8 x6 you will get 48

    And 48 add 12 is 60

    That is two ways to get the answer!

    1. Suleman Khan

      For the first one I X 6 by 6 which is 36 then I did 3×8 which is 24 and I added them together which is 60

    6tripods equals 18 legs three quad pods 12 legs.
    You need to have 6 quad pods and 2tripods.

    bronze challenge

    7 tripods and 1 bipod so 7 is 21 if times 3 by 7 then add 2 on
    21 will be 23

    silver challenge
    6 quadpods is 24 and 2 trypods are 30

  5. Hafsah Khan

    bronze challenge: 5 Tripods=15 legs
    4 bipods=8 legs
    total=23 legs

    silver challenge: (i) 2 Tripods=6 legs
    6 quadpod=24 legs
    Total=30 legs

    (ii) 6 Tripods=18 legs
    3 quadpods=12 legs
    Total=30

    Gold challenge: (i) 2 hexpods=12 legs
    6 octopods=48 legs
    Total=60 legs

    (ii) 6 hexpods=36 legs
    3 octopods=24 legs
    Total=60 legs

    How many bipods are there?

    2 Bi pods and 3 tripods

    I know this because 2 times 10 = 20 and 1times 3 = 3 so 20 +3=23
