The world-record limo has 26 wheels, while a normal car usually has 4 wheels.

If you parked 7 normal cars in a row, how many total wheels would they have? Would that be more or fewer than the limo’s wheels?

• 24 wheels, fewer than the limo

• 28 wheels, more than the limo

• 26 wheels, the same as the limo

• 30 wheels, more than the limo

Answer explanation

Each normal car has 4 wheels, so for 7 cars:

7×4=28 wheels

The limo has 26 wheels, so 7 normal cars have more wheels than the limo! 🚗💨
