There are 7 girls.

Each girl has 7 backpack

Each backpack has 7 big cats

Each big cat has 7 little small cats.

 

 

1. Focus on the first girl first:

A B C D E F G

Girl A has 7 backpacks

 

 

2. Now focus on first backpack A1 :

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7

Backpack A1 has 7 big cats

 

 

 

3. Now focus on first big cat :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

 

Each big cats have 7 small cats (that's the end of the focus)

Systematically, 7 small cats has 28 legs (7 * 4) combined with the big cat that owns this 7 small cats.

 

Lets call this the "cat chain", so cat chain 1 has 32 legs altogether.

So since there are 7 big cats

7 * 32 = 224 legs

 

Therefore each backpack has 224 legs

Finally, each girl has 7 * 224 = 1568 legs.
