    2 Hexpods x 6 legs = 12 legs
    8 legs x 6 Octopods = 48 legs
    48 + 12 = 60 legs

    6 Hexpods x 6 legs = 36
    8 legs x 3 Octopods = 24
    36 + 24 = 60

  7. Umayr Khan

    Bronze challenge
    3×7=21
    2×1=2
    21+2=23
    There are 4 bi-pods and 5 tripods all of there legs together makes 23 legs which is the correct total.
    Silver challenge
    3×10=30
    There is no more quadpods
    There are 6 tripods and 3 quadpods
    6×3=18
    3×4=12
    18+12=30
    There are 6 quad-pods and 2 tripods all their legs together makes 30 legs which is the correct total.
    There is also a different way to get the answer.
    3 x 6=18 tripod legs
    4 x 3=12 quad-pod legs
    12 legs + 18 legs = 30 legs
    There are 6 tripods and 3 quad-pods all their legs together as you can see above makes 30 legs which is the correct total.
    Gold challenge
    There are 6 Octopods and 2 hexpods
    6×8=48
    6×2=12
    48+12=50
    There are 6 hexpods and 3 octopods

    8×3=24
    36+24=60
    There are 6 quad-pods and 2 tripods all their legs together makes 30 legs which is the correct total.
    2nd way:
    3 x 6=18 tripod legs
    4 x 3=12 quad-pod legs
    12 legs + 18 legs = 30 legs
    There are 6 tripods and 3 quad-pods all their legs together as you can see above makes 30 legs which is the correct total.
    I will use my skills to find a second way to do the gold question.

  8. Inaaya Khan

    Gold challenge:
    The first way is…
    6×2=12 legs
    6×8=48legs

    12+48=60

    The next way is…
    6×6=36
    3×8=24

    36+24=60

  9. Mohammed Sherifdeen

    SILVER CHALLENGE

    3×4=12 so there are 12 tripods while 30 divided by 3 =10 so there are 10 quadpods.

  10. Haleema Asif

    Gold challenge
    There are 2 hexpods and 6 Octopods.
    2 times 6 is 12
    6 times 8 is 48
    If you do 48 + 12 = 60 legs.

    The other answer is
    6 times 6 =36
    3 times 8 = 24
    36 + 24 = 60 legs

  11. Hanna Khan

    Bronze:
    4 x 2 = 8
    5 x 3 = 15
    15 + 8 = 23
    Silver:
    6 x 4=24 quad-pods
    2 x 3=6 quad-pods
    6 legs + 24 legs=30 legs
    Gold:
    6 x 2 = 12 hex-pod legs
    8 x 6 = 48 octopod legs
    12 legs + 48 legs =60 legs
    3 x 8 = 24 octopod legs
    6 x 6 = 36 hex-pod legs
    36 legs + 24 legs = 60 legs

  12. Usman Khan

    2×6=12 12 legs of two hexpods

    60-12=48 48
    divided by 8 =6 octopods
    3 times 8 = 24
    60-24=36
    36 divided by 6 =6
    The answer is 3 octopods and 3 hexapods

    1. Mohammed Sherifdeen

      good but complex answer.

    Silver

    2 tripods 3 legs = 6 legs
    2 quad pod 4 legs = 8legs

    To get 30 you are going to need 2 tripods and 6 quad pod
    2 tripods 3 legs= 6 legs
    6 quadpod 4 legs =24
    When you add them the answer you get is 30
    In total
    24 legs +6 legs= 30
    legs

  28. Shkula Mayar

    GOLD CHALLENGE:
    There are 2 of hexpods and 6 of octopods.
    2 x 6 = 12 legs
    6 x 8 = 48 legs
    12 legs+48 legs= 60 legs

    Also there is a another way which is:

    4 x 2=8 bi-pod legs
    5 x 3=15 tripod legs
    8 legs + 15 legs=23
    There are 4 bi-pods and 5 tripods all of there legs together makes 23 legs which is the correct total.

    Silver:
    1st way:
    6 x 4=24 quad-pods
    2 x 3=6 quad-pods
    6 legs + 24 legs=30 legs
    There are 6 quad-pods and 2 tripods all their legs together makes 30 legs which is the correct total.
    2nd way:
    3 x 6=18 tripod legs
    4 x 3=12 quad-pod legs
    12 legs + 18 legs = 30 legs
    There are 6 tripods and 3 quad-pods all their legs together as you can see above makes 30 legs which is the correct total.
    Gold:
    1st way:
    3 x 8 = 24 octopod legs

    12 legs + 48 legs =60 legs
    There are 2 hex-pods and 6 octopods all their legs together as you can see above makes 60 legs which is the correct total.

  30. Alisha Riaz

    Bronze

    Tripods

    3 legs * 2 tripod = 6 leg

    Bipods

    2 legs * 2 bipods = 4 legs

    To get 23 legs, you need 8 bipods and 2 tripods.

    8 bipods * 2 legs = 16 legs
    2 tripods * 3 legs = 6 legs

    16 + 6 = 22, that is the nearest to 23 legs in total.

    Silver

    Tripods

    2 tripods * 3 legs = 6 legs

    Quadpods

    2 quadpod * 4 legs = 8 legs

    To get 30 legs in total, you need 2 tripods and 6 quadrod.

    2 tripods * 3 legs = 6 legs
    6 quadpods * 4 legs = 24 legs

    Then by adding these answer you get 30 legs in total

    24 legs + 6 leg = 30 legs
