How many axles do cars have?

I’m studying for my learners permit and have some random questions about cars—I don’t know if these will be on the exam, but I want to know just in case. This might be silly, but how many axles does a car have?

Don’t worry, there are no silly questions!
Most cars have two axles that rotate the wheels.
Larger vehicles with more passengers and wheels may have more axles. It’s simple to figure out how many axles there are. Simply check your car from the side and count the pairs of tires—each set will include an axle.
