A flock of 25 geese and 12 sheep have gathered around a pond. Chippi the lizard sees many legs. How many legs does it see?

Correct Answer

Given: 25 geese and 12 sheep.

Calculation: Geese have 2 legs each: 25 geese × 2 legs = 50 legs. Sheep have 4 legs each: 12 sheep × 4 legs = 48 legs. Total legs = 50 + 48 = 98 legs.

Explanation

The chapter presents a word problem involving multiplication. Geese have 2 legs, so 25 geese have 25×225 \times 2 = 50 legs. Sheep have 4 legs, so 12 sheep have 12×412 \times 4 = 48 legs. Total legs = 50 + 48 = 98 legs. This combines multiplication with addition.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Geese legs = 25 geese × 2 legs per goose = 50 legs

  2. Step 2: Sheep legs = 12 sheep × 4 legs per sheep = 48 legs

  3. Step 3: Total legs = 50 + 48 = 98 legs
