Question

A bicycle tire is supposed to be filled to 110 psi. The minimum air in a tire should be 101.2 psi. The maximum air in a tire should be 118.8 psi.

A. What is the amount of tolerance allowed for the tire?

a) 8.8 psi
b) 6.8 psi
c) 9.8 psi
d) 7.8 psi

Answer 1

The amount of tolerance allowed for the tire is 17.6 psi.

The amount of tolerance allowed for the tire is the difference between the maximum and minimum air pressure allowed. In this case, the maximum air pressure is 118.8 psi and the minimum air pressure is 101.2 psi. To find the amount of tolerance, subtract the minimum air pressure from the maximum air pressure: 118.8 - 101.2 = 17.6 psi.

Therefore, the amount of tolerance allowed for the tire is 17.6 psi.
