If a cow has 13 pairs of ribs, how many individual ribs does she have?

Explanation:
Ribs come in pairs, with two bones in each pair. If there are 13 pairs, you count two ribs per pair: 13 × 2 = 26. So the cow has 26 individual ribs in total. The other numbers would come from counting only one rib per pair or from assuming a different pairing, which isn’t the situation here.
