Each day Ernesto drives 52 miles. If he can drive 26 miles on one gallon of gasoline, how many days can he drive on 14 gallons of gasoline?

Can someone help me with this please?

Mileage=gasrate*gasoline

= 26mi/gal* 14 gal

52 miles per day takes 52/26 = 2 gallons each day. So how many days will it take him to use 14 gallons.

26 X 14= 364

Each day Ernesto drives 52 miles. If he can drive 26 miles on one gallon of gasoline, how many days can he drive on 14 gallons of gasoline?

26 X 14 = 364

Sure! To find out how many days Ernesto can drive on 14 gallons of gasoline, we need to divide the total distance he can drive by the distance he can cover on one gallon of gasoline.

First, let's calculate how many miles Ernesto can drive on 14 gallons of gasoline. Since he can drive 26 miles on one gallon, we can multiply 26 by 14:

26 miles/gallon * 14 gallons = 364 miles

Now that we know Ernesto can drive 364 miles on 14 gallons, let's figure out how many days he will be able to drive. If he drives 52 miles each day, we can divide the total distance he can cover (364 miles) by the distance he drives each day (52 miles):

364 miles / 52 miles/day = 7 days

Therefore, Ernesto can drive for 7 days on 14 gallons of gasoline.
