Answer:

A tire b had to fill 2 1/2 tires with air. It took a small air compressor 2 1/2 seconds to fill them up.The time taken to fill 8 tires is 8 seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by small air compressor to fill air in $2 \frac{1}{2}$ tires in a tire shop =  $2 \frac{1}{2}$  seconds

So, time taken by the small air compressor to fill air in 1 tire

=   $2 \frac{1}{2}$ divided by   $2 \frac{1}{2}$  

=$\frac{2 \frac{1}{2} }{2 \frac{1}{2}}$

= 1 second

So, time taken by it to fill 8 tires = 8*1 seconds

                                            = 8 seconds

which is the the time taken to fill 8 tires
