Henry's bus can go just 12 miles on a gallon of gasoline. When he started his vacation, the gas tank of the bus was 5/6 full. Later when Henry had driven 336 miles, the gauge showed that the tank was still 3/5 full. If his "low on gas" light will come on when he has 1/15 of a tank remaining, how much farther can he go before seeing that light?
