In a family with two parents and three children, how many legs are there?

To determine the total number of legs in a family consisting of two parents and three children, you can calculate the number of legs attributed to each family member.

Each human has two legs. With two parents contributing four legs (2 legs each) and three children contributing six legs (again, 2 legs each), you can add these amounts together:

• For the two parents: 2 legs x 2 parents = 4 legs
• For the three children: 2 legs x 3 children = 6 legs

Combining the totals gives you 4 legs (parents) + 6 legs (children) = 10 legs in total.

This calculation reflects the correct answer as 10 legs, accounting for all family members without excluding anyone.
