A question of Mileage



            If 5 tyres were used on a car which has travelled 20,000 miles, how many miles did each tyres sustain, if all the tyres were used equally in sustaining this mileage? 

Answer:     When the car travels one mile each of 4 tyres sustain one mile’s use.

                   Therefore, when a car has travelled 20,000 miles, a total of 80,000 tire miles has been used.
Since this mileage has been gathered on 5 tires, each tire must have been used for 16,000 miles.
