Q: Which equation correctly represents the total number of bones in the appendicular skeleton?

$$ 2 \text{ pectoral girdles} + 2 \text{ pelvic girdles} + 60 \text{ upper limbs} + 62 \text{ lower limbs} = 126 $$

Q: Which equation best represents the relationship between the number of bones in the appendicular skeleton and the total number of bones in the human body?

$$ \text{Total bones} = \text{Axial skeleton bones} + \text{Appendicular skeleton bones} $$
