Starting from a full tank, can Diego's family drive the car for 15 days without the warning light coming on? Explain or show your reasoning. Diego says the expression 21 - 1.5t helps him understand this situation. In this situation, what does this expression represent, and what does the variable t stand for? Write and solve an equation to determine the number of days Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on.

Answer:

The inequality is 0.6x < 12.5

The maximum number of days that Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

14 gallons-1.5 gallons=12.5 gallons    

we know that  

If the remaining fuel is greater than  1.5 gallons Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on    

so  

Let  

x ----> the number of days

0.6x < 12.5 inequality that represent the situation  

Solve for x

x < 12.5/0.6

x < 20.8 days

The maximum number of days that Diego's father can drive the car without the warning light coming on is 20 days
