Answer:

\frac{1}{160} \ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the thickness of tire rubber for every lost 1,000 driven is shown below:

Data provided in the question

Inches of tread = \frac{10}{23}

In case of replaced = \frac{2}{3}

Based on the above information

Now in 40,000 miles, the ratio is

= \frac{10 - 2}{32} \\\\ = \frac{1}{4}

And for every 1,000 miles driven,  the thickness is

= \frac{1}{4 \times 40,000} \times 1,000 \\\\ = \frac{1}{160} \ inches

hence, the thickness of tire rubber is \frac{1}{160} \ inches

kolezko [41]

Answer: 6/625 gallons of water wa splashed out of the pool

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of gallons of water in the pool was 10 1/2. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes

21/2 gallons.

Jake and his friend splashed g gallons of water out of the pool. There are 7 7/8 gallons still left in the pool. Converting 7 7/8 to improper fraction, it becomes

63/8 gallons

This means that

g + 63/8 = 21/2

g = 21/2 - 63/8 = (84 - 63)/8

g = 21/8 = 2.625 gallons
