Here's a simple one:
To move their armies, the Romans built over 50,000 miles of roads. Imagine driving all those miles! Now imagine driving those miles in the first gasoline-driven car that has only three wheels and could reach a top speed of about 10 miles per hour.
For safety's sake, let's bring along a spare tire. As you drive the 50,000 miles, you rotate the spare with the other tires so that all four tires get the same amount of wear. Can you figure out how many miles of wear each tire accumulates?

Actual for all you ignorants' you obviously haven't stepped foot on a college campus, as you couldn't comprehend the part of this question that said--Critical Thinking--you know, higher education? Don't insult me with your obvious lack of intelligence and your closeminded grade school attitude. Just because you don't know the answer doesn't give you the right to insult me for asking it. What kind of question is it? lol? Obviously one too tough for you to answer.

Here's a simple one? Are you trying to be insulting? Do your own homework instead of goading others into doing it for you.
Besides, this question has all sorts of superfluous information. I'm going to say it's from a 9th grade algebra book.
