Answer 1

The total number of pets with 4 legs.

B = 2 legs and flying

C = Cat with 4 legs

F = Frog, which also has 4 legs.

That is the only common theme that these have. Unless you add that C & F live on land. However, the answer is a pets with 4 legs

Answer 2

The number of cats an frogs

Explanation:

For some reason the equation has (c+f) grouped off from the rest, since in an equation the first step is to take care of things in the parentheses, first you must add the two together, and based on the description, you know that c is the number of cats and f is the number of frogs. Therefore adding them together would get the total number of cats and frogs.
