Question

Over the course of a year, a tractor trailer commutes 160,000 miles across America.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 5 sets of tires

b. 16 times

Step-by-step explanation:

total distance commuted by the truck = 160,000 miles

a.tires of the truck are changed after every 40,000 miles

40,000 to 80,000 to 120,000 to 160,000 he will change his tires four times assuming he started his journey with the new tires. so, he needs uses a total of 5 sets of tires for the whole journey.

b. changes oil every 10,000 miles then to travel 160,000 miles

= $\frac{160,000}{10,000}$

= 16 times in whole journey

Answer 2

Answer:

I only got the answer for B, but its 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 160,000 and divide it by 10,000. Why? If he goes 160,000 miles across america, and has to change it every 10,000 miles he gets 16. You're welcome!!!
