Answer:

50 legs

Explanation:

We know that a dog has 4 legs, a cat has 4 legs, a giraffe has 4 legs, a duck has 2 legs, and a chicken has 2 legs. So, we want to calculate
2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2)+3(2), right?

Wrong! It's a trick question! The chickens aren't on the floor, so they don't count. So, we really want
2(4)+4(4)+1(4)+5(4)+1(2).

We multiply it out to get
8+16+4+20+2.

We add these up to get
50.

So, our answer is
\boxed{50} legs.
