Hello!
1) We use FEWER if we’re referring to people or things in the plural.
2) We use LESS when we’re referring to something that can’t be counted or doesn’t have a plural (e.g. money, air, time, music, rain).
2a) LESS is also used with numbers when they are on their own and with expressions of measurement or time.
Example: Central Square is less than four miles away from the city centre.
Can "fewer" also be used in this sentence?
