Dan's family truck holds 14 gallons of fuel. Every day the car uses 0.6gallons of fuel. A warning light comes on when the remaining fuel is 1.5 gallons or less. Starting from a full tank, can Dan's family drive the truck 25 days without the warning light coming on? Explain or show your reasoning.

Respuesta :

First, let's calculate how much fuel the truck will use in 25 days, using 0.6 gallons per day:

[tex]25\cdot0.6=15[/tex]

The maximum amount of fuel that the truck can hold is 14 gallons.

Since the amount of fuel it needs is greater than the amount it can hold, the answer is NO.
