Answer:

We conclude that eighty percent of bike tires last at most 14.4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a pair of bike tires can last 18 months if used every day.

We calculate how much eighty percent of the tire will last in months.

We have the following proportion:

[tex]18:100\%=x:80\%\\\\100x=18\cdot 80\\\\100x=1440\\\\x=\frac{1440}{100}\\\\x=14.4[/tex]

We conclude that eighty percent of bike tires last at most 14.4 months.
