Question

Diego's family car holds 14 gallons of fuel. Each day the car uses 0.6 gallons of fuel. A warning light comes on when the remaining fuel is 1.5

gallons or less. Starting from a full tank, can Diego's family drive the car for 14 days without the warning light coming on? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

Yes, 14 • 0.6< 14
The amount of gas used up in 14 days is 8.4 which leaves 5.6 gallons remaining

5.6 > 1.5
