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 25 days without the warning light coming on?

Select the correct choice.



A.) YES

B.) NO

Answer 1

No. The warning light will come on.

14/0.6 = 23.34 days only
Another method: 0.6 gallons • 25 days = 15 gallons needed for the journey of 25 days.
