AI Explanation

To find the total number of toes in the bus, we need to calculate the number of toes for each component and then add them together.

Given:

  • 4 children in the bus, and each child has 4 backpacks with them.
  • There are 4 dogs sitting in each backpack, and each dog has 4 puppies.
  • Each dog has 4 legs, with 4 toes on each leg.

Let's break down the calculation:

  1. Number of toes for the children: Each child has 2 legs, and each leg has 5 toes (including the big toe). So, each child contributes 2 x 5 = 10 toes. Since there are 4 children, the total number of toes for the children is 4 x 10 = 40 toes.

  2. Number of toes for the dogs: Each dog has 4 legs, and each leg has 4 toes. So, each dog contributes 4 x 4 = 16 toes. Since there are 4 dogs in each backpack, and each child has 4 backpacks, the total number of toes for the dogs is 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 toes.

  3. Number of toes for the puppies: Each puppy has 4 legs, and each leg has 4 toes. So, each puppy contributes 4 x 4 = 16 toes. Since there are 4 puppies with each dog, the total number of toes for the puppies is 4 x 16 = 64 toes.

Now, let's calculate the total number of toes in the bus:

Total number of toes = (toes for children) + (toes for dogs) + (toes for puppies) = 40 + 64 + 64 = 168

Therefore, the total number of toes in the bus is 168.
