There is a line of 55 ants (one ant has 6 legs). What is the total number of legs in the line?

Correct Answer

Given: Number of ants = 55 Legs per ant = 6

Formula: Total legs = Number of ants × Legs per ant

Substitution: Total legs = 55×655 \times 6

Calculation: 55×655 \times 6 = 330

Alternative Method: (50×650 \times 6) + (5×65 \times 6) = 300 + 30 = 330

Answer: 330 legs

Explanation

Each ant has 6 legs. For 55 ants: 55×655 \times 6 = 330 legs. This can be calculated as (50×650 \times 6) + (5×65 \times 6) = 300 + 30 = 330.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Number of ants = 55

  2. Step 2: Legs per ant = 6

  3. Step 3: Total legs = 55×655 \times 6 = 330

  4. Alternative: (50×650 \times 6) + (5×65 \times 6) = 300 + 30 = 330
