There are 20 bicycles and 10 cars parked in the parking lot. Each bicycle had two wheels and each car had four wheels. How many wheels are there in total?
Ummhhh, what is 20*2 + 10*4 ??
(on line * is used as a multiplication sign)
And I opppp
To find the total number of wheels in the parking lot, we need to calculate the number of wheels on each bicycle and each car, and then add them together.
First, let's find the number of wheels on the bicycles. It is given that each bicycle has two wheels. There are 20 bicycles, so the total number of wheels on the bicycles is:
20 bicycles * 2 wheels per bicycle = 40 wheels
Next, let's find the number of wheels on the cars. It is given that each car has four wheels. There are 10 cars, so the total number of wheels on the cars is:
10 cars * 4 wheels per car = 40 wheels
To find the total number of wheels, we add the number of wheels on the bicycles and the number of wheels on the cars:
40 wheels (bicycles) + 40 wheels (cars) = 80 wheels
Therefore, there are a total of 80 wheels in the parking lot.
