16+32+256= 304 legs.

Answer 2

Answer:

272b

Where, b = number of bogies in the train

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the number of legs a human has = 2,

So, the number of legs 8 people has = 16,

Also, the number of legs a cow has = 4,

The number of cow = 8,

Total legs of 8 cows = 32

And each cow has 8 Calves,

So, total legs of calves = 8 × 8 × 4 = 256,

Thus, the legs in a bogies = 16 + 32 +  256 = 304

Suppose there are b bogies in the train,

So, the total legs in the train = 304b
