To find the total number of wheels on Ethan's cars and trucks, you need to consider the number of wheels each type of vehicle has and the quantities of each type.
Each car has 4 wheels, and there are \( n \) cars. Therefore, the total number of wheels from the cars is \( 4n \).
Each truck has 8 wheels, and there are 2 trucks. Therefore, the total number of wheels from the trucks is \( 2 \times 8 = 16 \).
Now, to find the total number of wheels from both the cars and the trucks, you add the number of wheels from the cars to the number of wheels from the trucks:
\[
\text{Total wheels} = 4n + 16
\]
So, the expression that represents the total number of wheels on the cars and trucks in Ethan’s toy box is:
\[
4n + 16
\]
