I am sorry but I am not good at math, this may seem like a dumb question but I don't do well with word problems? I can't figure it out, maybe I am making it too hard on myself, can someone point me to the right direction?

see above. Please don't post duplicate problems.
First find the circumference of the tire.
C = pi * diameter Your answer will be in inches.
Then convert 5,280 feet (1 mile) to inches.
Divide the inches in a mile by the circumference of the tire.
Multiply by 100.
