b) What percent of the tires will not last for at least 40,000 miles?
c) What is the probability that a tire will last for more than 50,000 miles?
d) The Firestone Company wants to advertise how long some of their tires last. They decide to state how long the top 3% of their tires will last. How many miles will the top 3% of their tires last?

The unit rate is how many calories are in 1 cup of cereal.
Set up a proportion:
Cross multiply and solve:
There are 100 calories per cup of cereal.
To get the calories in 4 cups of cereal, simply multiply the unit rate of 100cals/cup by 4.
There are 400 calories in 4 cups of cereal.

Answer:
NOT PROPORTIONAL
Step-by-step explanation:
The given two fractions are: and
.
Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.
Consider two fractions and
.
We say they are proportional if .
Or, if then we can say the fractions are proportional.
Here the fractions are: and
.
LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.
RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.
Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.
