    Octopods have 8 legs.
    There are 60 legs altogether.

    How many Hexpods are there?
    How many Octopods are there?

    1st way

    I think there are 3 octopods and 1 hexpod

    2nd way

    If you do 30 divide by 6 you should get 5.So there is five hexpods and 0 octopods

    Tripods have 3 legs.
    Quad pods have 4 legs.
    There are 30 legs altogether.

    1st way

    I believe there are six tripods and 3 quads would equal 30 legs.

    2nd way

    I think that if you have six quads then you will need 2 tripods to have 30 legs altogether.

      if you multiply 3 by4 the answer will be twelwe so twlweee landed

      1. Mr Maguire

        Fatima, can you double check your answer? Use some paper to help you too work it out if you need to.

        1. Fatima Sheikh Naz

          I think that there are 6: tripods landed and 3 quad pods .

    GOLD CHALLENGE!:
    There are 2 hexapods and 6 legs, if you times 2 by 6, you will get the number 12.
    There are 6 octopods and 8 legs, if you times 6 by 8, you will get the number 48.
    Add 12 and 48 and you will get the number 60.

    There are 6 hexapods and 6 legs, if you times 6 by 6, you will get the number 36.
    There are 3 octopods and 8 legs, if you times 3 by 8, you will get the number 24.
    Add 36 and 24 and you will get the number 60.

    2 ways to get the answer!

    BRONZE CHALLENGE
    2 x 10 = 20
    1 x 3 = 3
    20 + 3 = 3

    1. Fatima Sheikh Naz

      20+3 is not 3 its 23.

  11. Keiren Spicer

    Bronze:
    4+4=8
    20+40=90

  12. Abdul Akbar-Tahir

    Bronze:

    4×2=8
    5×3=15

    15+8=23

    This means there are 23 legs altogether. From Abdul

  13. Abdul Akbar-Tahir

    Bronze:

    4×2=8
    5×3=15

    15+8=23

    This means there are 23 legs altogether.

  14. Sahrah Khan

    Bronze Challenge.

    4×2=8

    5×3=15

    8+15=23

    you need 4 Tripods and 5 Bipods.

    Silver Challenge.

    3×4=12

    6×3=18

    12+18=30

    you need 2 Tripods and 6 Quadpods.

    bronze
    4×2=8 5×3=15. 15+8=23

  16. Salma Hussain

    Gold
    Oh no earth is invaded!!
    6×2=12
    6×8=48 12+48=60 So there is 60 legs in total

  17. Chahaldeep Gill

    Bronze :
    4×2=8 bi-pods leg
    5×3= 15tri-pods leg
    So that means that there are 8 bi-pod legs and then there is 15 tri- pods legs so if you add 15+8=23.
    There’s a 2nd way which is:
    3×3=9 bi-pods
    2×7=14 tri-pod
    So that means if you get 9 bi-pods and then you get 14 tri-pods you add both of them it makes 23 tri-pods and bi-pods altogether
    Silver
    The 1st way is:
    4×3=12 quadpods legs
    2×9= 18 tri-pods
    So that means there are 12 quadpods and there are 18 tri-pods so if you add both Numbers it Raquel’s 30 leggs altogether.
    2nd way is:
    6 x 4=24 quad-pods
    2 x 3=6 quad-pods
    So that means if there are24 quadpods leg and there are 6 tri-pods there are 30 feat altogether.
    Gold
    1st one:
    8×6 = 48octopod leg
    6×2= 12 hex-pod legs
    So that means there are 12 and 48 legs of both aliens if they are added together they meke 60 in total
    The second way is:
    3 x 8 = 24 octopod legs
    6 x 6 = 36 hex-pod legs
    36 legs + 24 legs = 60 legs
    There are 6 hex-pods and 3 octopods all their legs so altogether there would be 60 legs of each aliens altogether.

  21. Safa Khan

    Silver challenge
    So if you want to find out how much quad pods there are and how many tripods there are you have to do:
    3 times 2 which equals 6 Tripods
    4 times 6 which equals 24. Quad pods
    Altogether there are 6 tripods and 6 Quad pods.

  22. Abir Hussain

    Bronz
    There are 10 Bipods because 2 goes into 20 10 times

    And there are 1 tripod because 3 goes into 3 one time

    Silver
    There are 24 quadpods and 2 tripods

    Gold

  23. Lyba Ghafoor

    3×7=21and add 2equalls 23

    4×3=12

    Prediction
    There is 7 tripods and 12 bipeds.

  24. Sufyaan Karim

    Gold
    6 hexapod × 6 = 36 legs
    3 octopud × 8 = 24 legs

    Total 60 legs

    2 hexapods × 6 = 12 legs
    8 octopud × 8 = 48 legs

    Total 60 legs

  25. Rayan Osman

    3 times 7 =21
    2 times 1 =2
    21+2=23
    THERE ARE 4 BIPODS AND 5 TRIPODS ALTOGETHER.

  26. Hassan Loan

    Bronze

    3 times by 5 =15
    2 times by 4 =8
    15+8 = 23
    Silver
    To get 30 you need to times 3 by 2 which equals 6 then times 4 by 6 which equals 24 and then + them together it equals 30.
    3 times 2 = 6
    4 times 6 = 24

    6 + 24 = 30

  27. Moman Loan

    Gold
    3×8=24 there are 3 octopods legs
    6×6=36 there are 6 hex pods legs
    24+6=60 there

  28. Moman Loan

    Silver
    There are 6 tripods
    Each tripods has 3 legs = 6 x 3 =18
    There are 3 quadpods and each quadpods has 4 legs = 4 x 3 =12
    18+12=30
    There is another way by doing this by doing
    6×4=24 there are 6 quadpods
    2×3=6 there are 2 tripods
    24+6=30

  29. Nuh Mohammed

    Bronze
    There are 7 Tripods and 2 Bipods.
    3 times 7=21
    1 times 2=2
    21 plus 2 equals 23.
    Silver
    6 times 4=24-Quadpods
    2 times 3=6-Tripods
    24 add 6 equals 30.

  30. Moman Loan

    Bronze
    4×2=8
    5×3=15
    There are 8 bipod and 15 tripod which makes 23 legs all togeather.
