    Gold:

    A singular Octopod has eight legs as there are sixty legs there are forty eight legs because six times eight is forty eight.

    In my opinion there are 7 tripods and 1 bipod , this is if you do the amount of tripods times the amount of legs (7 x 3) you will get 21 . The next step is to times the amount of bipods by the amount of legs (1 x 2) you would find 2 . Finally, if you add both answers up ( 21 + 2 ) you would get 23 which is your final answer .

    Silver

    1 . There could be 6 quadrapods , this is if you times the amount of legs there are or the amount of quadrapods (6 x 4) which would equal 24 . Also, there could be 2 tripods . This is if you times the amount of legs and tripods together which would equal 6 . Finally, your last step is to add your answers up which would bring you to your final answer that is 30 . There could be 3 quadrapods this is if you times the amount of legs and the amount of quadrapods that there is (4 x 3) which is 12 . Ther could be 6 tripods , if you times the amount of legs and the amount of tripods (6 x 3) which is 18 . Your final step is to add your answers up (12 + 18) which brings you to your final answer that is 30 .

    Bronze:

    3×5=15
    2×4=8
    15+8=23

    Silver:
    3×6=18
    4×3=12
    12+18=30

  17. Imran Namdar

    Silver
    Tripods 6 x 3 = 18
    Quadpods 3 x 4 = 12
    Add 18 and 12 together that makes 30. (1st Answer)

    Tripods 2 x 3 = 6
    Quadpods 6 x 4 legs =24
    And the total of that is 30. (My 2nd answer)

  18. Ebraheem J.

    Bronze:
    1tripod is 3 legs
    3×1=3
    Theirs 1tripod leg.

    1 bipod is 2 legs.
    10×2=20.
    So theirs 20 bipod.

    Bronze
    1 tripod has 3 legs
    5 tripods equal 15 legs
    So their is 5 tripods
    1 bipod has 2 legs
    4 bipod have 8 legs
    So their is 4 bipeds as I add the total tighter and I got 23
    Silver
    1 tripod has 3 legs
    6 tripods have 18 legs and if I add quad pods which have 4
    X3 equals 12 legs
