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 [tex]2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)+3(2)[/tex], right?
Wrong! It's a trick question! The chickens aren't on the floor, so they don't count. So, we really want [tex]2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)[/tex].
We multiply it out to get [tex]8+16+4+20+2[/tex].
We add these up to get [tex]50[/tex].
So, our answer is [tex]\boxed{50}[/tex] legs.
