Reducing 6 Simple Machines to 4

6 Simple Machines
 
 
1. Lever
2. Pulley
3.Wedge
4. Wheel and axle
5.Screw
6.Inclined Plane
 
 
 
 
Why can we reduce 6 to 4?
 
 
An inclined plane is the same simple machine as a wedge, so there does not have to be two different simple machines.  The screw has the same function as the inclined plane and wedge.
