Set up a ratio.
26 miles is to 1 gallon as X is to 14 gallons.
26/1=X/14
26=X/14
26*14=X
X=364 miles

Each day esterno 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.

Since he gets 26 miles to each gallon of gas, then he will get (26 * 14), or 364 miles on 14 gallons of gas.

Since he drives 52 miles per day, then Ernesto can drive or days on 14 gallons of gasoline.
