So it takes 8x/21 hours for the return trip of 2x miles or more simply 4/21 hours to travel 1 mile. Therefore,
the average speed is 21/4 or 5.25 miles per hour.

are 7 girls in a bus. LAKHMIR SINGH
PAPERS
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 cats.
For every cat, there are 7 kittens.
How many legs are there in the bus?
Answer: 10,990 (or 10,992 if you’re assuming there’s a bus driver).
7 girls × 2 = 14 girl legs.
49 backpacks which means there are 343 cats × 4 = 1,372 cat legs.
343 cats which means there are 2,401 kittens × 4 = 9,604 kitten legs.
Thus, the total number of legs is 14 + 1,372 + 9,604 = 10,990 (or 10,992 if you’re assuming there’s a bus
driver).
