First, if the a full tire needs 500 cubic inches of air, then two empty tires need: 500 cubic inches/tire * 2 tires = <<500*2=1000>>1000 cubic inches. Accordingly, the 40%-full tire needs 500 cubic inches * (100%-40%). So, we find the 40%-full tire needs 500 cubic inches * (60%) = <<500*(60*.01)=300>>300 cubic inches. ...
