The limiting factor is the amount of oil which will last 6 days. There will still be 3 gallons of gas left over

3/.5 = 6 days
12/1.5 = 8 days
so 6 days without buying more supplies

IF SHE USES .5 PINTS/DAY, THEN 3 PINTS OF OIL WILL
LAST 6 DAYS. THE GAS WOULD LAST 8 DAYS BUT SHE
WOULD BE OUT OF OIL AFTER 6 DAYS.

6 days
6 days= oil gone
8 days= gas gone

Oil 1/2 x = 3
X = 6 days
Gas 1.5 X = 12
X = 8
six days for oil/ 8 days for fuel
