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? Explain or show your reasoning.

I don't understand this and I need this quick

No the could not go 25 days without it coming on....if you multiply.6 gallons by 25 days you get 15 since the car only holds 14 gallons the car would be empty before the 25th day
