A person changed the size of the wheels on his motorcycle.

He changed the size from a tire that had a 25 inch diameter to a tire that has a 28 inch diameter. He didn’t realize this would affect his speedometer and odometer. He didn’t recalibrate either after changing the wheel size. How far did he really travel on the new tires, if his odometer shows he traveled 1000 miles?


A. 1,120 miles

B. 1,440 miles

C. 28,000 miles

D. 1,000 miles

Answer:

A. 1,120 miles

Explanation:

25/28 = 1000/x (Solve for x by cross multiplying)

28000 = 25x ( 28000 / 25 = 1120)

1120 = x
