Question

A toymaker was making trucks to sell in his
shop. He made three times as many four-
wheeled trucks as six-wheeled trucks,
He used 54 wheels altogether
How many four-wheel and
siy-wheel trucks did he make?

Answer 1

Answer:  9 Four Wheel and 3 6 Wheel Trucks

Step-by-step explanation:

 Let FW be the four-wheel trucks and SW the six-wheel trucks.

Total wheels is 4*FW + 6*SW and is equal to 54 wheels

We know that FW = 3*SW, so substitute that into the above equation:

4*3*SW + 6*SW  = 54

12*SW +6*SW = 54

18*SW = 54

SW = 3

Therefore FW = 3*3 = 9

FW  4 x 9  = 36 wheels

SW  6 x 3  =  18 wheels

     Total   =   54 wheels
