How much legs does a normal sized centipede have plzzzzzzzzz tell me i need to do it for homework?

Centipedes, which are members of the class Chilopoda, always have an uneven number of pairs of walking legs, ranging from 15 to more than 171. The true centipedes (order Scolopendromorpha) have either 21 or 23 pairs of legs. Common house centipedes (Scutigera coleoptrato) have 15 pairs of legs.I think they will most likely be asking the amount of legs for the common house ones so it would be 15 pairs of legs.:)
