Question

There are 9 bicycles and some trictckes at the repair shop. There 42 total wheels on all the bicycles and tricycles. How many tricycles are in the shop

Answer 1

Explanation:

No of bicycles = 9

No of bicycle wheels = 9 x 2 = 18

Total wheels = 42

No of wheels remaining = 42 - 18 = 24

Each tricycle has 3 wheels so 24 ÷ 3 = 8

The answer is 8 tricycles
