To pass inspection in a certain state, a car's tire treads must have a depth of at least 1/16 inch. If the tires on a car have tread depths in inches of 1/2, 1/8, 1/32, and 1/4, which tire will not pass inspection?
To pass inspection, a car's tire treads must have a depth of at least 1/16 inch.
The tire treads depth in inches are as follows:
- 1/2 inch
- 1/8 inch
- 1/32 inch
- 1/4 inch
Comparing the tread depths to the requirement of at least 1/16 inch, we find that the tire with a depth of 1/32 inch will not pass inspection, as it falls short of the required depth.
