Question:

For how many kilometers is each tired used?

A three-wheeled vehicle travels 100 km. Two spare tires are available. Each of the five tires is used for the same distance during the trip. For how many kilometers is each tired used?

Answer:

My guess is that since the vehicle goes 100 km and there are three tires on the vehicle at a time, the tires will go a combined distance of 300 km. Since you have a total of 5 tires to alternate, each tire will go a distance of 60 km.
If the trip is 100km and there are always three tires on the ground at once then you have 300 km traveled in total adding up all the tires. There are five of them to switch out and change equally. So you would divide that by five. 60km is driven on each tire. If you need to explain how it is done. For the first sixty km leave on the back two tires, yet change out the front tire every 20km. So then at the end of 60km the back tires have done all their 60km of driving. You have the other three tires with 20km on them each. You then replace the two back tires with the fresher 20km tires. Each tire has 20km on it, and your trip has 40km more to go. That would be 60km for each tire. Seriously a three wheeled vehicle, that is just dangerous.
