Ok, since Semi-trucks have 18 wheels (they're also called 18-wheelers), the semi-trucks themselves have 270 wheels (15 trucks x 18 wheels each = 270 wheels).

Each of 9 trucks are carrying 8 cars each so that means there are 72 cars on these trucks (9 trucks x 8 cars each = 72 cars). Each car presumably has 4 wheels (not counting spare tires), so there are 288 wheels on these cars (72 cars x 4 wheels each = 288 wheels).

Each of 6 trucks are carrying 6 cars each so that means there are 36 cars on these trucks (6 trucks x 6 cars each = 36 cars). Each car presumably has 4 wheels (not counting spare tires), so there are 144 wheels on these cars (36 cars x 4 wheels each = 144 wheels).

Adding all the wheels together, you get 702 wheels (270 + 288 + 144 = 702).

So the answer is 702 wheels.

432 Wheels.
9 trucks x 8 cars x 4 wheels a car
+
6 trucks x 6 cars x 4 wheels a car
This is all assuming you aren't counting the semi's wheels and all the cars have only 4 wheels.

9- 8*4=32
6- 6*4=24
32+24=54

54 wheels.........assuming that the cars have 4 wheels........info about the amount of wheels on the semi trucks was not included so i am only counting the amount of wheels on the cargo.

Add a whole host of steering wheels and gear wheels besides road wheels and you will end up with a semi-truck load of wheels!!
