Answer: About 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the ramp = 500 cm

The circumference of the wheel = 32 cm

We know that the number of rotations made by a wheel is given by :-

$\text{No. of rotations}=\text{Length of the ramp}\div\text{ Circumference of wheel}$

Therefore , the number of rotations made by each wheel = $500\div32$

$=15.625\approx16$ [Rounded to the nearest integer.]

Hence, each wheel will make about 16 rotations while Shawn is coasting down the ramp.
