To determine how many pairs of legs are present in 50 spiders, you first need to know that spiders have 8 legs each. Since a “pair” consists of two legs, we divide the total number of legs per spider by 2.
Here’s the calculation:
- Each spider has 8 legs, which equals 4 pairs of legs.
- Multiply the number of spiders (50) by the number of pairs of legs per spider (4).
50 spiders × 4 pairs = 200 pairs of legs.
So, if there are 50 spiders, there are 200 pairs of legs. That’s a lot of legs!
