Answer:

There would be 876 legs.

Explanation:

To do it you could first find how many legs there are on one farm. SO you would take the 6 cats in one barrel. Then times it by the 6 kittens each of them have. That's the number of cats. Then times than number by 4 to get the total number of legs in one barrel. Then you add in the two legs of the farmer. Then times that total number by 6 to get all the legs on all six farms.
