Answer 1

Answer:

50 legs

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a dog has 4 legs, a cat has 4 legs, a giraffe has 4 legs, a duck has 2 legs, and a chicken has 2 legs. So, we want to calculate $2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)+3(2)$, right?

Wrong! It's a trick question! The chickens aren't on the floor, so they don't count. So, we really want $2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)$.

We multiply it out to get $8+16+4+20+2$.

We add these up to get $50$.

So, our answer is $\boxed{50}$ legs.
