Question

Janessarecently increased the size of his Jeep tires from the original P230/85R18to the larger P250/85R21. If Janessadidn’t recalibrate herodometer, how far didshe really travelon the new tires when herodometer shows she hastraveled 23425 miles?

Answer 1

Janessa really traveled 25,459.8 miles on the new tires.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far Janessa really traveled on the new tires, we can use the ratio of the tire sizes and herodometer reading. The ratio of the new tire size (P250/85R21) to the original tire size (P230/85R18) can be expressed as 250/230.

To find the actual distance traveled, we multiply the herodometer reading (23425 miles) by the ratio, giving us (23425 * 250/230) = 25459.8 miles.
