how is it 1554

To find the total number of fleas, you need to multiply the quantities together based on the given information.

First, let's start with the number of houses: 6 houses.

Next, we know that in each house, there are 6 cats. So, we multiply the number of houses by the number of cats in each house:
6 houses * 6 cats per house = 36 cats.

Then, we are told that each cat has 6 whiskers. To find the total number of whiskers, we multiply the number of cats by the number of whiskers per cat:
36 cats * 6 whiskers per cat = 216 whiskers.

Finally, we are informed that each whisker has 6 fleas. So, to determine the total number of fleas, we multiply the number of whiskers by the number of fleas per whisker:
216 whiskers * 6 fleas per whisker = 1296 fleas.

Therefore, in total, there are 1296 fleas.
