It allows us to move objects with the minimal amount of friction.

Would you rather drag an object or pull it on a cart?

When you have wheels underneath the object your are transporting, there are only a few points touching the ground (the wheels). Therefore, there is less friction created when you pull the object. When there is less friction, there is higher efficiency.

There are, of course, other ways it makes life easier, but that is one of the main ideas.

Hope that helped. ;)

i agree with the above answer but i would not say a wheel and axle is the main point of simple machines and their efficiency

Small machines or do you mean simple machines? A wedge, a lever, pulley, wheel & axel are all small/simple machines. You can see a lever work in a seesaw or a catapult, a wheel and axel work in a wheelbarrow, and a wedge can work to keep a door open.

How does wheel and axle make work easier?

A wheel and axle reduces (i.e. almost eliminates) the friction between two objects or surfaces moving against each other, so less work is needed to allow this movement to occur.
