Answer 1

Answer:

4 wagons are ordered

Step-by-step explanation:

If a customer ordered 5 items and the order had a total of 17 wheels,

Each wagon has 4 wheels

The order has a total of 17 wheels

To find the number of wagons we divide the total number of wheels by 4.

17 divided by 4 is 4.25

So 4 wagons are ordered

Answer 2

If a customer ordered 5 items and the order had a total of 17 wheels, we are to determine the number of wagons that was ordered. A wagon has four wheels, therefore, 17 divided by 4 wheels is equal to 4 r. 1. So, 4 wagons were ordered and one extra wheel to complete the 17 wheels and 5 orders.
