Answer 1

ok thx

Answer 2

or multiply each of the choices given by 3, subtract the result from 46 and divide that by 4...

Answer 3

a little confusing @Peter14

Answer 4

it will be B. because when you multiply 10 with 3 you get 30. so reamaining legs are 46-30 = 16. which can be completely use for for 4-legs table.

Answer 5

It could work with 12 too then.
