When new, a standard tire has 10/32 inches of tread. When only 2/32 inches of tread remains, the tire needs to be replaced. If this occurs after 40,000 miles, what thickness of tire rubber is lost every 1,000 miles driven? Give your answer in fractions of an inch.

Answer:
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 = 10/23
In case of replaced = 2/3
Based on the above information
Now in 40,000 miles, the ratio is
= 10−2/32
= 1/4
And for every 1,000 miles driven, the thickness is
= 1/4×40,000×1,000
= 1/160 inches
hence, the thickness of tire rubber is 1/160 inches.
please mark this as brain list answer.
