Answer:


(9)/(8) or
1(1)/(8) wheels of cheese is left for Wednesday.

Explanation:

A deli ordered
6(1)/(2) or
(13)/(2) wheels of cheese.

Over the weekend
3(5)/(8) or
(29)/(8) wheels of cheese we're sold.

On Tuesday
1(3)/(4) or
(7)/(4) of cheese we're sold.

Total cheese sold in these days =
(29)/(8) +(7)/(4)

=
(29+14)/(8) =
(43)/(8)

Now cheese left for Wednesday =
(13)/(2) -(43)/(8)

=
(52-43)/(8) =
(9)/(8)

Hence,
(9)/(8) or
1(1)/(8) wheels of cheese is left for Wednesday.
