There is a very large room that has 4 tables, 1 sofa and 2 chairs that have 4 legs each. There are also 3 tables with 3 legs each, 1 table with 1 leg, and 1 rocking chair with 2 legs. How many legs are there in the room? Let's answer step by step:
There are 4 tables, 1 sofa and 2 chairs that have 4 legs each so 4 + 1 + 2 = 7 pieces of furniture. These 7 pieces have 4 legs each so they have 7 * 4 = 28 legs. There are 3 tables with 3 legs each so they have 3 * 3 = 9 legs. We have 28 legs and 9 legs as well a 1 leg on a table and 2 on a rocking chair for a total of 28 + 9 + 1 + 2 = 40 legs. The answer: 40.
