four men board a ship, each with one wife. each couple has two kids,each kid has three cats and each cat has five kittens. how any mouths are there to feed including animals and people? how many feet are there?
Feet Mouth 4 men 8 4 4 wives 8 4 (only 4 just seems like more) 8 kids 16 8 24 cats 96 24 120 kits 480 120 Total 608 160
\[4*(\text{men}+\text{wife}+2(\text{kid}(3\text{cat}(5 \text{kitten})))) \]Each person/animal has one mouth. Expand the following with the substitutions indicated:\[4*(1+1+2(1(3*1(5*1)))) \]=128 Each human has two feet and each animal has four feet:\[4*(2+2+2(2(3*4(5 *4)))) \]=3856
